Journal ArticleDOI
The Barley Mlo Gene: A Novel Control Element of Plant Pathogen Resistance
Rainer Büschges,Karin Hollricher,Ralph Panstruga,Guus Simons,Marietta Wolter,A. Frijters,Raymond van Daelen,Theo van der Lee,Paul Johan Diergaarde,John Groenendijk,Sonja Töpsch,Pieter Vos,Francesco Salamini,Paul Schulze-Lefert +13 more
TL;DR: Analysis of mutagen-induced recessive alleles of the barley Mlo locus revealed mutations leading in each case to alterations of the deduced Mlo wild-type amino acid sequence, compatible with a dual negative control function of the Mlo protein in leaf cell death and in the onset of pathogen defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome of M. graminicola was sequenced completely and found that it contained very few genes for enzymes that break down plant cell walls, which was more similar to endophytes than to pathogens, which may have evolved from endophytic ancestors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissection of the fusarium I2 gene cluster in tomato reveals six homologs and one active gene copy.
Guus Simons,John Groenendijk,Jelle Wijbrandi,Martin Reijans,Jose Groenen,Paul Johan Diergaarde,Theo van der Lee,Marjo Bleeker,Joke Onstenk,Michiel T.J. de Both,Michel A. Haring,Jurriaan Johannes Mes,Ben J. C. Cornelissen,Marc Zabeau,Pieter Vos +14 more
TL;DR: The I2 locus in tomato confers resistance to race 2 of the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f sp lycopersici, and alignment between the various members of the I2 gene family revealed two significant variable regions within the leucine-rich repeat region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major changes in Fusarium spp. in wheat in the Netherlands
Cees Waalwijk,Pieter Kastelein,Ineke de Vries,Zoltán Kerényi,Theo van der Lee,Thamara Hesselink,Jürgen Köhl,Gert H. J. Kema +7 more
TL;DR: A diagnostic PCR method was developed to detect the most common species of Fusarium occurring on wheat, and demonstrated that F. graminearum was the most abundant species in the FUSarium complex on wheat in both years.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of the combined dataset suggests that two-thirds of the STs might be associated with a single host plant, and revealed that the 26 STs associated with human mycoses were genetically diverse, including several which appear to be nosocomial in origin.
