was recently identified as the major species in corn and soybean fields in Nebraska and was shown to be pathogenic on corn and soybean seedlings. Fungicide seed treatments commonly used...

Frequent fungicide applications are required to manage grapevine powdery mildew (). However, this practice is costly and has led to widespread fungicide resistance. A method of monitoring in-field fungicide efficacy...

Nighttime applications of germicidal ultraviolet were evaluated as a means to suppress three diseases of grapevine. In laboratory studies, UV-C light (peak 254 nm, FWHM 5 nm) applied during darkness...

Rapid evolution of fungal pathogens poses a serious threat to medicine and agriculture. The mutation rate determines the pace of evolution of a fungal pathogen. Hypermutator fungal strains have an...

and -like species of fungi that cause disease are known to have varying host ranges and aggressiveness. Accurate identification of these species causing disease is important for soybean disease management...

With ever-decreasing sequencing costs, research on the population biology of plant pathogens is transitioning from population genetics-using dozens of genetic markers or polymorphism data of several genes-to population genomics-using several...

Stress from exposure to sublethal fungicide doses may cause genomic instability in fungal plant pathogens, which may accelerate the emergence of fungicide resistance or other adaptive traits. In a previous...
