study on mating types and sensitivity to strobilurin fungicide in fungal wheat pathogen mycosphaerella graminicola
نویسندگان
چکیده
mycosphaerella graminicola, the causal agent of septoria tritici blotch (stb), is a widespread and significant pathogen of wheat. to determine mating types, 89 isolates were collected randomly from wheat fields of khuzestan, east azerbaijan, ardebil, kermanshah and golestan provinces of iran, during 2006-7. dna was extracted based on standard protocols. multiplex pcr was conducted using two pairs of mating type-specific primers for mat1-1 and mat1-2. sensitivity to strobilurin fungicide was determined using strobsnprc7 and strobsnprc1 primers. the results showed that in 35 isolates, a fragment of 340 bp amplified with mat1-1 idiomorph specific primers and in 54 isolates a fragment of 660 bp was amplified with mat1-2 idiomorph specific primers. while the mating type frequencies were highly unequal, the mat1-1 was predominant. all isolates were sensitive to strobilurin and amplified a fragment of 639 bp. it is concluded that both mating types are present in iran, although with different frequencies, which may affect genetic variation through sexual cycle. meanwhile the studied isolates were not resistant to strobilurin fungicides which may be due to growing wheat cultivars resistant to stb rather than using strobilurin fungicides as a dominant control method.

Origin and domestication of the fungal wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola via sympatric speciation.
The Fertile Crescent represents the center of origin and earliest known place of domestication for many cereal crops. During the transition from wild grasses to domesticated cereals, many host-specialized pathogen species are thought to have emerged. A sister population of the wheat-adapted pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola was identified on wild grasses collected in northwest Iran. Isolates ...

The Dothideomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola is the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, a devastating disease of wheat leaves that causes dramatic decreases in yield. Infection involves an initial extended period of symptomless intercellular colonisation prior to the development of visible necrotic disease lesions. Previous functional genomics and gene expression profiling studies ...
متن کاملRapidly Evolving Genes Are Key Players in Host Specialization and Virulence of the Fungal Wheat Pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici (Mycosphaerella graminicola)
The speciation of pathogens can be driven by divergent host specialization. Specialization to a new host is possible via the acquisition of advantageous mutations fixed by positive selection. Comparative genome analyses of closely related species allows for the identification of such key substitutions via inference of genome-wide signatures of positive selection. We previously used a comparativ...

The plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici) causes septoria tritici blotch, a disease that greatly reduces the yield and quality of wheat. This disease is economically important in most wheat-growing areas worldwide and threatens global food production. Control of the disease has been hampered by a limited understanding of the genetic and biochemical...

A range of novel carboxamide fungicides, inhibitors of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1) is currently being introduced to the crop protection market. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of structurally distinct carboxamides on target site resistance development and to assess possible impact on fitness. We used a UV mutagenesis approach in Mycosphaerella graminicol...
