Open AccessReduced efficacy of biocontrol agents and plant resistance inducers against potato early blight from greenhouse to field
Early blight in potato, caused by Alternaria solani, is mainly controlled by frequent applications of synthetic fungicides. Reducing the use of synthetic fungicides in agriculture is desired to reach an overall s...

Open AccessIntact salicylic acid signalling is required for potato defence against the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria solani
Using disease bioassays and transcriptomic analysis we show that intact SA-signalling is required for potato defences against the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Alternaria solani.

Open AccessWithin-season changes in Alternaria solani populations in potato in response to fungicide application strategies
Early blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, is a common foliar disease in potato. Quinone outside inhibitor (QoIs) fungicides have commonly been used against A. solani. To avoid or delay development of ...

Open AccessGenetic diversity and occurrence of the F129L substitutions among isolates of Alternaria solani in south-eastern Sweden
Early blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, occurs on potato mainly in the south-eastern part of Sweden, but also in other parts of the country. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic dive...
