Fungicides are widely used in developed agricultural systems to control disease and
safeguard crop yield and quality. Over time, however, resistance to many of the most …

Plant fungal pathogens can have devastating effects on a wide range of crops, including
cereals and fruit (such as wheat and grapes), causing losses in crop yield, which are costly …

Although fungicide treatments are a key component in the integrated management of many
plant diseases, the appearance of resistance has become an important factor in limiting the …

This review summarises recent investigations into the molecular mechanisms responsible
for the decline in sensitivity to azole (imidazole and triazole) fungicides in European …

BACKGROUND: The recent evolution towards resistance to azole fungicides in European
populations of the wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola has been caused by the …

Drug transporters are membrane proteins that provide protection for organisms against
natural toxic products and fungicides. In plant pathogens, drug transporters function in …

Sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides are widely used to control fungi pathogenic to
humans and plants. Resistance to DMIs is mediated either through alterations in the …

Multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by broad specificity transporters is one of the most
important strategies used by pathogens, including cancer cells, to evade chemotherapy. In …

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the Fusarium graminearum species complex, is a
devastating fungal disease resulting in substantial yield and quality losses. Ergosterol …

This Mycosphaerella graminicola pathogen profile covers recent advances in the knowledge
of this ascomycete fungus and of the disease it causes, septoria tritici blotch of wheat …
