Occurrence and distribution of CYP51 haplotypes of Zymoseptoria tritici in recent years in Europe
Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat worldwide. Foliar disease management relies mainly on the application of fungicides. Th...

Just one at a time: fungal population experiments with Zymoseptoria tritici and metyltetraprole (Pavecto®) demonstrate the incompatibility of different cytochrome B mutations
The complex III of the mitochondrial respiration chain is an effective fungicidal target in plant pathogenic fungi. Especially the QoIs (FRAC Group 11 and 11A) fungicides cover a broad pathogen spectrum, that ...

Sensitivity evolution in Venturia inaequalis towards SDHIs in comparison to other modes of action
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are an important group of fungicides (FRAC Group 7) for the control of Venturia inaequalis. Mechanisms which lead to reduced SDHI sensitivity in fungi are based on mutat...

Acquired QoI resistance in Pyrenophora teres through an interspecific partial gene transfer by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis?
In European QoI monitoring studies from 2019 on Pyrenophora teres, the causal agent of net blotch in barley, an isolate (ISO-2210) was identified with a level of QoI resistance that had never been observed before...

Mutations in Cyp51 of Venturia inaequalis and their effects on DMI sensitivity
DMIs (sterol demethylation inhibitors) provide an important mode of action for control of Venturia inaequalis. They target the enzyme 14a-demethylase, encoded by the Cyp51 gene, which acts on an essential precurs...
