Phoma stem canker (blackleg), caused by Leptosphaeria maculans , is an important disease on oilseed rape (canola, rapeseed, Brassica napus juncea rapa ) causing seedling death, lodging or early senescence in Australia, Canada and Europe, but not China. The two forms of L. (A group B group) that occur are now considered to be separate species. epidemiology severity phoma differs between continents due differences the pathogen population structure, species cultivars grown, climate agricultural...

ABSTRACT Strobilurin fungicides or quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) have been used successfully to control Septoria leaf blotch in the United Kingdom since 1997. However, QoI-resistant isolates of Mycosphaerella graminicola were reported for first time at Rothamsted during summer 2002. Sequence analysis cytochrome b gene revealed that all resistant carried a mutation resulting replacement glycine by alanine codon 143 (G143A). Extensive monitoring using real-time polymerase chain reaction...
Abstract Many innovations in the development and use of air sampling devices have occurred plant pathology since first description Hirst spore trap. These include improvements capture efficiency at relatively high air‐volume collection rates, methods to enhance ease sample processing with downstream diagnostic even full automation sampling, diagnosis wireless reporting results. Other been mount samplers on mobile platforms such as UAVs ground vehicles allow different altitudes locations a...
Threats to global food security from multiple sources, such as population growth, ageing farming populations, meat consumption trends, climate-change effects on abiotic and biotic stresses, the environmental impacts of agriculture are well publicised. In addition, with ever increasing tolerance pest, diseases weeds there is growing pressure traditional crop genetic protective chemistry technologies 'Green Revolution'. To ease burden these challenges, has been a move automate robotise aspects...
This paper reports the development of a new specific diagnostic technique to accurately quantify airborne inoculum Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and discusses its potential use in disease‐forecasting schemes, using examples three contrasting epidemic seasons: 2007, when there was severe sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) England high numbers ascospores were trapped at Rothamsted, and, contrast, 2003 2004, incidence SSR low Rothamsted. DNA extracted from wax‐coated plastic tapes, such as those used...
Effects of climate change on productivity agricultural crops in relation to diseases that attack them are difficult predict because they complex and nonlinear. To investigate these crop–disease–climate interactions, UKCIP02 scenarios predicting UK temperature rainfall under high- low-CO 2 emission for the 2020s 2050s were combined with a crop-simulation model yield fungicide-treated winter oilseed rape weather-based regression severity phoma stem canker epidemics. The combination crop...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA Plant Health Panel updated its pest categorisation of Xylella fastidiosa, previously delivered as part risk assessment published in 2015. X. fastidiosa is Gram-negative bacterium, responsible for various plant diseases, including Pierce's disease, phony peach citrus variegated chlorosis, olive quick decline syndrome, almond leaf scorch and other diseases. The pathogen endemic Americas present Iran. In EU, it reported southern Apulia...
Information on the diversity of fungal spores in air is limited, and also content airborne plant pathogens understudied. In present study, a total 152 samples were taken from rooftops at urban settings Slagelse, DK, Wageningen NL, Rothamsted, UK together with 41 above oilseed rape fields Rothamsted. Samples during 10-day periods spring autumn, each sample representing one day sampling. The was analyzed by metabarcoding internal transcribed sequence 1 (ITS1) qPCR for specific fungi. results...
A small fraction of aerosol particles known as Ice-Nucleating Particles (INPs) have the potential to trigger ice formation in cloud droplets at higher temperatures than homogeneous freezing. INPs can strongly reduce water content and albedo shallow mixed-phase clouds also influence development convective clouds. Therefore, it is important understand which types serve how effectively they nucleate ice. Using a combination INP measurements Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive...
