The importance of asymptomatic infection in sustainable crop protection
(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 ...
Role of inoculum sources in Rhynchosporium population dynamics and epidemics on barley.
(HGCA, 2012-04)
Rhynchosporium leaf blotch of barley, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium secalis, is of increasing importance in world agriculture. It is the most serious disease of winter and spring barley in the UK, causing substantial ...
Genetic basis of control of Rhynchosporium secalis infection and symptom expression in barley
(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 ...
Effects of disease control by fungicides on greenhouse gas emissions by UK arable crop production
(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 ...
Symptomless infection by Rhynchosporium commune in relation to control of barley leaf blotch
(2011)
Rhynchosporium leaf blotch (caused by Rhynchosporium commune) is the most economically important disease of barley in the UK, but epidemics can be difficult to control with fungicides and the basis of cultivar resistance ...
Resistance to Rhynchosporium secalis in a cross between winter and spring barley
(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 ...
Pathogenesis, parasitism and mutualism in the trophic space of microbe-plant interactions
(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 ...
The epidemiological importance of asymptomatic infection of winter barley by Rhynchosporium secalis and its consequences for crop protection and breeding
(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 ...
Determining frequencies of avirulent alleles in airborne inoculum of Leptosphaeria maculans using molecular assays
(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 ...
