First application of PCR-Luminex system for molecular diagnosis of fungicide resistance and species identification of fungal pathogens
Fungicide resistance in plant pathogens is often caused by a single point mutation in a gene encoding fungicide target proteins. Such is the case for resistance to MBI-D (inhibitors of scytalone dehydratase in...
