Detection of airborne inoculum of Leptosphaeria maculans and Pyrenopeziza brassicae in oilseed rape crops by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays
Calderon, C.; Ward, Elaine; Freeman, J.; Foster, S. J.; McCartney, H. A. (2002-06)The potential use of DNA-based methods for detecting airborne inoculum of Leptosphaeria maculans and Pyrenopeziza brassicae, both damaging pathogens of oilseed rape, was investigated. A method for purifying DNA from spores ... -
Molecular diagnostics for fungal plant pathogens
McCartney, H. A.; Foster, S. J.; Fraaije, B. A.; Ward, Elaine (2003-02)Accurate identification of fungal phytopathogens is essential for virtually all aspects of plant pathology, from fundamental research on the biology of pathogens to the control of the diseases they cause. Although molecular ... -
Plant pathogen diagnostics : immunological and nucleic acid-based approaches
Ward, Elaine; Foster, S. J.; Fraaije, B. A.; McCartney, H. A. (2004)Accurate disease diagnosis and precise identification of any pathogens involved is an essential prerequisite for understanding plant diseases and controlling them effectively. Traditional methods of identifying plant ... -
Resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker) in Brassica napus (oilseed rape) induced by Leptosphaeria biglobosa and chemical defence activators in field and controlled environments
Liu, S. Y.; Liu, Z.; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Evans, Neal; Foster, S. J.; Huang, Y. J.; Latunde-Dada, A. O.; Lucas, J. A. (2006-06)Effects of pretreatment of Brassica napus leaves with ascospores of Leptosphaeria biglobosa or chemical defence activators [acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) or menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB)] on infection by ascospores of ...
