Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB) on wheat. An improved method of
quantifying STB symptoms was developed based on automated analysis of diseased leaf …

Quantitative resistance is likely to be more durable than major gene resistance for controlling
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) on wheat. Earlier studies hypothesized that resistance affecting …

Producing quantitative and reliable measures of crop disease is essential for resistance
breeding, but is challenging and time consuming using traditional phenotyping methods. …

Situated in the breathtaking Caucasus Mountains between the Black and the Caspian Seas,
the country of Georgia sits at the crossroads between Europe and Asia; it has gone through …

Adaptation of plant pathogens to disease control measures (both chemical and genetic) is
facilitated by the genetic uniformity underlying modern agroecosystems. One path to …

Accurate, high-throughput phenotyping for quantitative traits is a limiting factor for progress
in plant breeding. We developed an automated image analysis to measure quantitative …

Austerlitz, Wagram, Borodino, Trafalgar, Leipzig, Waterloo: these are the places most
closely associated with the era of the Napoleonic Wars. But how did this period of nearly …

Pathogen populations differ in the amount of genetic diversity they contain. Populations
carrying higher genetic diversity are thought to have a greater evolutionary potential than …

Fungicide mixtures produced by the agrochemical industry often contain low-risk fungicides,
to which fungal pathogens are fully sensitive, together with high-risk fungicides known to be …

Resistance to antimicrobial drugs allows pathogens to survive drug treatment. The time taken
for a new resistant mutant to reach a population size that is unlikely to die out by chance is …
