Detection and quantification of airborne inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using quantitative PCR
Rogers, S. L.; Atkins, Simon D.; West, Jon S. (2009)This paper reports the development of a new specific diagnostic technique to accurately quantify airborne inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and discusses its potential use in disease-forecasting schemes, using examples ... -
Determining frequencies of avirulent alleles in airborne inoculum of Leptosphaeria maculans using molecular assays
Van de Wouw, A. P.; Stonard, J. F.; Atkins, Simon D.; Howlett, B. J.; West, Jon S.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2009)Control of blackleg (phoma stem canker) disease relies on crop management, fungicides and breeding for disease resistance. Proteins encoded by these resistance genes recognize avirulence (Avr) gene products in the fungus ... -
The dynamics of Rhynchosporium secalis in winter and spring barley and the role of inoculum sources
Atkins, Simon D.; Fraaije, B. A.; Lucas, J. A.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2008-08) -
Effects of disease control by fungicides on greenhouse gas emissions by UK arable crop production
Hughes, David J.; West, Jon S.; Atkins, Simon D.; Gladders, Peter; Jeger, Michael J.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2011-09)Background: The UK government has published plans to reduce UK agriculture's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of global food security requires an increase in arable crop yields. Foliar disease ... -
The epidemiological importance of asymptomatic infection of winter barley by Rhynchosporium secalis and its consequences for crop protection and breeding
Atkins, Simon D.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Fraaije, B. A.; Harvey, S; Lynott, J.; Newton, A. C. (2010)Summary: Leaf scald (caused by Rhynchosporium secalis) is one of the most economically important diseases of barley. Data were collected from three seasons of trials using two susceptible winter barley cultivars (Sumo and ... -
Factors affecting canker and light leaf spot severity in oilseed rape
West, Jon S.; Gladders, P.; Booth, E.; Thomas, J.; Jennaway, R.; Werner, P.; Bowman, J.; Nightingale, M.; Padbury, N.; Clarke, M.; Rogers, S. L.; Kenyon, D.; Atkins, Simon D.; Boys, Emily F.; Huang, Yongju; Evans, Neal; Latunde-Dada, A. O.; Li, Q.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2008-06) -
Forecasting oilseed rape diseases from airborne inoculum
West, Jon S.; Atkins, Simon D.; Rogers, S. L.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2008-06)Most fungal diseases of oilseed rape are initiated by airborne spores. The seasonal timing of spore release of each species changes in response to weather with maturation and release of spores typically driven by moisture ... -
Genetic basis of control of Rhynchosporium secalis infection and symptom expression in barley
Looseley, M. E.; Newton, A. C.; Atkins, Simon D.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Fraaije, B. A.; Thomas, W. T. B.; Keith, R.; Macaulay, M.; Lynott, J.; Harrap, D. (2012)The genetic basis of several different components of resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis in barley was investigated in a mapping population derived from a cross between winter and spring barley types. Both the severity ... -
The importance of asymptomatic infection in sustainable crop protection
Newton, A. C.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Werner, Peter; Harrap, D.; Southgate, James; Ashworth, M.; Atkins, Simon D.; Looseley, M. E. (2013-08)Scald or Rhynchosporium, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium commune, is difficult to control with fungicides and severe epidemics may appear suddenly. Its epidemiology is not well understood as it is based on disease ... -
Pathogenesis, parasitism and mutualism in the trophic space of microbe-plant interactions
Newton, Adrian C.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Atkins, Simon D.; Walters, Dale R.; Daniell, Tim J. (2010-08)Microbe host interactions can be categorised as pathogenic, parasitic or mutualistic, but in practice few examples exactly fit these descriptions. New molecular methods are providing insights into the dynamics of microbe ... -
Quantifying DNA of Leptosphaeria maculans and Pyrenopeziza brassicae in oilseed rape tissues using QPCR
West, Jon S.; Rogers, S. L.; Latunde-Dada, A. O.; Pirie, E. J.; Stonard, J. F.; Huang, Yongju; Atkins, Simon D.; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2008-08) -
Resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis in a cross between winter and spring barley
Looseley, M. E.; Newton, A. C.; Atkins, Simon D.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Fraaije, B. A.; Thomas, W. T. B.; Keith, R.; Macaulay, M.; Lynott, J.; Harrap, D. (2011)Winter barley types shows higher levels of field resistance to R. secalis compared to spring barley varieties. In addition, barley leaves have been shown to tolerate relatively high levels of R. secalis colonisation in the ... -
