Effects of temperature and wetness duration on infection of oilseed rape leaves by ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans (stem canker)
(1999-11)
In controlled environment experiments, ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans (stem canker) infected oilseed rape (cv. Nickel) leaves and caused phoma leaf spots at temperatures from 8 degrees C to 24 degrees C and leaf ...
Effects of severity and timing of stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) symptoms on yield of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the UK
(1999-10)
The relationships between yield loss and incidence (% plants with stems affected) or severity (mean stem score, 0-4 scale) of stem canker in winter oilseed rape were analysed using data from experiments at Rothamsted in ...
Epidemiology of Leptosphaeria maculans in relation to forecasting stem canker severity on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(1999-10)
In the UK, ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans first infect leaves of oilseed rape in the autumn to cause phoma leaf spots, from which the fungus can grow to cause stem cankers in the spring. Yield losses due to early ...
Infection of linseed by Alternaria linicola : Effects of inoculum density, temperature, leaf wetness and light regime
(1999-09)
Controlled environment studies were conducted to determine the effects of inoculum density, temperature, leaf wetness and light regime on the infection of linseed by Alternaria linicola. The % cotyledons and leaves with ...
Development of PCR based diagnostic techniques for the two mating types of Pyrenopeziza brassicae (light leaf spot) on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp. oleifera)
(1999-08)
Two sets of PCR primers were designed from DNA sequence which flanked the 3' end of the Pyrenopeziza brassicae mating type idiomorphs (MAT-1 and MAT-2). The first set of primers facilitated the amplification of a 750 bp ...
Ascospores as primary inoculum for epidemics of white leaf spot (Mycosphaerella capsellae) in winter oilseed rape in the UK
(1999-06)
In the UK, conidia of Pseudocercosporella capsellae, the anamorph of Mycosphaerella capsellae, were observed on white leaf spot lesions on leaves throughout the growing season. Ascomata were not observed on lesions on ...
Differentiating A and B groups of Leptosphaeria maculans, causal agent of stem canker (blackleg) of oilseed rape
(1999-04)
Stem canker or blackleg of brassicas, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, is one of the most damaging diseases of winter oilseed rape in the UK. Airborne ascospores, released in autumn and winter, initiate leaf infections ...
Implementation of results from rain tower experiments into a simulation model for vertical spore distribution
(Association of Applied Biologists, 1999)
Epidemiology, forecasting and management of winter oilseed rape diseases in the UK
(1999)
Survey results show that the most serious diseases on winter oilseed rape in the UK are light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) and stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans), then stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and dark ...
Pathogenicity of Verticillium dahliae to spring linseed
