This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews of septoria
tritici blotch in cereals. The first chapter reviews the various
methods for managing septoria tritici blotch (STB), from the the
use of fungicides to marker-assisted breeding for increased
resistance to STB. It also surveys research on the molecular basis
of host-pathogen interactions in STB. The second chapter reviews
current research on the main fungal diseases affecting barley,
focussing on biotrophic foliar diseases, such as stem rust and
powdery mildew, as well as necrotrophic diseases, such as septoria
tritici blotch and fusarium head blight. The chapter also discusses
the implications for achieving sustainable resistance to the
pathogens responsible for these diseases. The third chapter
addresses advances in understanding the epidemiology of septoria
tritici blotch in the major cereal crops. The chapter also reviews
the taxonomy and life cycle of Zymoseptoria tritici - the cause of
septoria tritici blotch, as well as the economic impact of the
pathogen. The final chapter reviews recent research on genetic
resistance loci and breeding strategies based on both conventional
and biotechnology-based breeding approaches to achieve durable
resistance to septoria tritici blotch infection, whilst
simultaneously minimising the risk of grain yield losses.
This specially curated collection features four reviews of current
and key research on fusarium in cereal crops. The first chapter
describes how progress can be built over current agricultural
practices in integrated pest management plans. It also addresses
the disease cycle of Fusarium head blight, host-pathogen
interactions, genetic resistance, the role of mycotoxins, as well
as the impact of the disease on yields and loss of crop quality.
The second chapter reviews current research on the main fungal
diseases affecting barley, as well as what we know about the
mechanisms of barley genetic resistance to fungal pathogens. It
features detailed discussions on biotrophic foliar diseases such as
stem rust and powdery mildew and necrotrophic diseases such as spot
blotch and Fusarium head blight. The third chapter reviews control
measures for Fusarium head blight, wheat blast and powdery mildew,
including the development of resistant cultivars. The final chapter
considers the current status of global wheat production, the impact
of crop loss on food security and the emergence of the current
regulatory environment surrounding pesticides. It also features
discussions on the current status of the global fungicide market.
