Background Azoles play an important role in the management of Aspergillus diseases. Azole resistance is an emerging global problem in Aspergillus fumigatus, and may develop through patient therapy. In addition, an environmental route of resistance development has been suggested through exposure to
Pathogene schimmels doen spontaan waar organisaties als Greenpeace van gruwen: ze wisselen genen of zelfs hele chromosomen uit met andere schimmelsoorten. Dat blijkt uit een artikel in FEMS Microbiology Reviews van de Wageningse genetici Rahim Mehrabi, Pierre de Wit en Gert Kema van Wageningen UR.
Copy-paste ruïneert graanoogst. Schimmels erven hun schadelijke genen van hun voorouders, zoals Darwin en graantelers al lang wisten, maar blijken ook gewoon genen met de buren uit te wisselen, zelfs als dat een heel andere soort is. Genen lenen is normaler dan biologen dachten. Zelfs de mens zelf
Breeding for resistance to Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph: Septoria tritici), is an essential component in controlling this important foliar disease of wheat. Inheritance of seedling resistance to seven worldwide pathogen isolates has been studied in a
Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the ascomycete Mycosphaerella graminicola, is one of the most devastating foliar diseases of wheat. We screened five synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHs), 13 wheat varieties that represent the differential set of cultivars and two susceptible checks with a global
The ascomycete Mycosphaerella graminicola is the causal agent of septoria tritici blotch (STB), one of the most destructive foliar diseases of bread and durum wheat globally, particularly in temperate humid areas. A screening of the French bread wheat cultivars Apache and Balance with 30 M. graminic
Plant pathogenic fungi adapt quickly to changing environments including overcoming plant disease resistance genes. This is usually achieved by mutations in single effector genes of the pathogens, enabling them to avoid recognition by the host plant. In addition, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and ho
Abstract The plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici) causes septoria tritici blotch, a disease that greatly reduces the yield and quality of wheat. This disease is economically important in most wheat-growing areas worldwide and threatens global food pr
