Fusarium species, particularly graminearum and F. culmorum, are the main cause of trichothecene type B contamination in cereals. Data on distribution genotypes cereals Europe scattered time space. Furthermore, a common core set related variables (sampling method, host cultivar, previous crop, etc.) that would allow more effective analysis factors influencing spatial temporal population distribution, is lacking. Consequently, based available data, it difficult to identify chemotype spread at...
Eukaryotes display remarkable genome plasticity, which can include supernumerary chromosomes that differ markedly from the core chromosomes. Despite widespread occurrence of in fungi, their origin, relation to and reason for divergent characteristics are still largely unknown. The complexity assembly due presence repetitive DNA partially accounts this. Here we use single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing assemble a prominent fungal wheat pathogen, Fusarium poae, including at least one...
Fusarium head blight is a disease caused by complex of species. F. poae omnipresent throughout Europe in spite its low virulence. In this study, we assessed geographically diverse collection isolates for genetic diversity using AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism). Furthermore, studying the mating type locus and chromosomal insertions, identified hallmarks both sexual recombination clonal spread successful genotypes population. Despite large variation found, all possess nivalenol...
Triticale (×Triticosecale) is the intergeneric hybrid between female parent wheat and male rye. With expansion of triticale growing area, powdery mildew emerged on this new host has become a significant disease triticale. Recent research demonstrated that “new” through range wheat. Moreover, occurred recently multiple times at different locations in Europe. An effective environmentally sensitive approach to controlling involves breeding crop plants for resistance. The main goal study was...
Fusarium is a large genus that includes animal and plant pathogenic species as well saprophytes. Moreover, specimens from this are used in biocontrol for industrial applications. We integrated various disciplines on representatives across the genus. Chromosome numbers (CN) were determined using Germ Tube Burst Method (GTBM), different sequencing platforms applied to generate high quality assemblies. In several species, remarkable genome plasticity observed, including variable CNs presence of...
Triticale is the intergeneric hybrid between wheat and rye. With expansion of triticale growing area, powdery mildew has emerged become a significant disease on this new host. Recent research demonstrated that ‘new’ through host range wheat. Moreover, isolates sampled from still infect their previous host, wheat, but hardly triticale. Race‐specific adult‐plant resistance have been identified in cultivars. The main objective study was to characterize cellular basis Commonalities with...
The manuscript details the development of an in vitro model plant system using detached leaves because there is a need for biosynthetic methods production and isolation masked mycotoxins. This leaf was firstly applied to deoxynivalenol with satisfying results. biosynthesis deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside confirmed its respective commercially available reference standard. Secondly, T-2 toxin. Mono- tri-glucoside derivatives toxin HT-2 toxin, T-2-(3)-glucoside, T-2-(3)-triglucoside...
