TL;DR: Research on plant resistance to disease, including types of resistance, genes, and molecular markers, and on the use of fungicides are summarized, and strategies for more effective control of the disease are discussed.
Abstract: Stripe rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most important diseases of wheat worldwide. This review presents basic and recent information on the epidemiology of stripe rust, changes in pathogen virulence and population structure, and movement of the pathogen in the United States and around the world. The impact and causes of recent epidemics in the United States and other countries are discussed. Research on plant resistance to disease, including types of resistance, genes, and molecular markers, and on the use of fungicides are summarized, and strategies for more effective control of the disease are discussed.

TL;DR: An index of plant hosts of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is presented, showing the importance of knowing the phytochemical properties of these hosts to identify the carriers of the virus.
Abstract: (1994). Index of plant hosts of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology: Vol. 16, No. 2, pp. 93-108.
987 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the epidemiology of wheat head blight and maize ear rot caused by Fusarium graminearum, and found that the head blight caused the ear rot.
Abstract: (1982). Epidemiology of wheat head blight and maize ear rot caused by Fusarium graminearum. Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology: Vol. 4, No. 2, pp. 195-209.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the advantages and disadvantages of real-time PCR for the detection of bacterial, fungal, and viral plant pathogens, which can result in appropriate control measures and eradication procedures more quickly and accurately than traditional methods of pathogen isolation.
Abstract: Rapid-cycle real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods may revolutionize the manner in which plant pathogens are identified and diseases are diagnosed. As the genomics age progresses and more and more DNA sequence data become available, highly specific primers and fluorescent probe sequences can be designed to yield target amplicons to unique regions of a pathogen's genome. Portable real-time PCR instruments described here are now allowing for diagnostic assays to be run directly in the field or at remote locations other than the standard diagnostic laboratory. Rapid real-time PCR diagnosis can result in appropriate control measures and (or) eradication procedures more quickly and accurately than traditional methods of pathogen isolation. Disease losses are minimized and control costs reduced. Advantages and disadvantages of rapid real-time PCR for the detection of bacterial, fungal, and viral plant pathogens are described.

TL;DR: This review emphasizes Canadian contributions, but incorporates studies from North America to put that research into perspective, and concludes that resistant cultivars will ensure stable yields and high-quality grain free of mycotoxins.
Abstract: The recent increase in prevalence and severity of fusarium head blight (FHB), in cereals in Canada and elsewhere, has caused hardship and economic loss to producers and the grain industry. This review emphasizes Canadian contributions, but incorporates studies from North America to put that research into perspective. Since the reviews of Sutton in 1982 and Miller in 1994, significant advances in our understanding of the epidemiology of the disease have occurred that are fundamental to the development of appropriate management strategies. Also, we now better understand the genetics of resistance in wheat and there is a consensus that resistant cultivars will provide the most stable and durable solution to the problem of FHB. Our knowledge of the genetic basis of resistance in wheat, and the development of molecular markers to facilitate early generation selection for resistance to FHB, are essential tools to this end. Resistant cultivars will ensure stable yields and high-quality grain free of mycotoxins.
