Journal ArticleDOI
QTL mapping of multiple foliar disease and root-lesion nematode resistances in wheat
Rebecca S. Zwart,Rebecca S. Zwart,John P. Thompson,Andrew Milgate,Urmil Bansal,P. M. Williamson,Harsh Raman,Harbans Bariana +7 more
TL;DR: The recombinants combining resistance to Septoria tritici blotch, yellow leaf spot, rust diseases and root-lesion nematodes from parents CPI133872 and Janz constitute valuable germplasm for the transfer of multiple disease resistance into new wheat cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The discovery of the virulence gene ToxA in the wheat and barley pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that proteins that confer host-specific virulence can be horizontally acquired across multiple species, which can dramatically increase the virulence of pathogenic strains on susceptible cultivars, which, in an agricultural setting, can have devastating economic and social impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in Eucalyptus globulus for susceptibility to Mycosphaerella nubilosa and its association with tree growth
TL;DR: It is suggested that E. globulus has at least two mechanisms involved in avoiding the deleterious effects of this disease, one is through resistance of the juvenile foliage per se and the other is through the ontogenetic switch to the resistant adult foliage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transposon-Mediated Horizontal Transfer of the Host-Specific Virulence Protein ToxA between Three Fungal Wheat Pathogens
Megan C. McDonald,Adam P. Taranto,Erin Hill,Benjamin Schwessinger,Zhaohui Liu,Steven Simpfendorfer,Andrew Milgate,Peter S. Solomon +7 more
TL;DR: The extent of horizontally transferred DNA is defined between three fungal wheat pathogens as part of a conserved ∼14 kb element which contains coding and noncoding regions and is the first description of ToxA with complete transposon features, which is called ToxhAT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Parallel Evolution of Azole Fungicide Resistance in Australian Populations of the Wheat Pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici .
Megan C. McDonald,Melanie Renkin,Merrin Spackman,Beverley Orchard,Daniel Croll,Peter S. Solomon,Andrew Milgate +6 more
TL;DR: De novo acquisition of resistance to the ubiquitously used azole fungicides in genetically isolated populations of the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici in Tasmania, Australia is shown and evidence for parallel evolution through genome-scale analyses of representative worldwide populations is confirmed.
