Correction to: Bremia lactucae populations on cultivated lettuce originate from prickly lettuce and are interconnected with the wild pathosystem

Incidence of Lettuce Downy Mildew (Bremia lactucae) and Powdery Mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum) in Natural Populations of Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola)

Mieslerová B., Lebeda A., Petrželová I., Korbelová P. (2013): Incidence of lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) and powdery mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum) in natural populations of prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola). Plant Protect. Sci., 39 (Special Issue): S24–S32. The study was focused on the wild pathosystem Lactuca serriola–lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) and lettuce powdery ...

Effector identification in the lettuce downy mildew Bremia lactucae by massively parallel transcriptome sequencing.

Lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) is a rapidly adapting oomycete pathogen affecting commercial lettuce cultivation. Oomycetes are known to use a diverse arsenal of secreted proteins (effectors) to manipulate their hosts. Two classes of effector are known to be translocated by the host: the RXLRs and Crinklers. To gain insight into the repertoire of effectors used by B. lactucae to manipula...

Effector‐mediated discovery of a novel resistance gene against Bremia lactucae in a nonhost lettuce species

Candidate effectors from lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) enable high-throughput germplasm screening for the presence of resistance (R) genes. The nonhost species Lactuca saligna comprises a source of B. lactucae R genes that has hardly been exploited in lettuce breeding. Its cross-compatibility with the host species L. sativa enables the study of inheritance of nonhost resistance (NHR). ...

A Quantitative Dynamic Simulation of Bremia lactucae Airborne Conidia Concentration above a Lettuce Canopy

Lettuce downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Bremia lactucae Regel, is a major threat to lettuce production worldwide. Lettuce downy mildew is a polycyclic disease driven by airborne spores. A weather-based dynamic simulation model for B. lactucae airborne spores was developed to simulate the aerobiological characteristics of the pathogen. The model was built using the STELLA platform by follow...
