Isolate-Specific Responses of the Nonhost Grass to the Fungal Pathogen Compared with Wheat.

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is an important foliar disease of wheat that is caused by the fungal pathogen . The grass has been used previously as a model system for cereal-pathogen interactions. In this study, we examined the nonhost resistance (NHR) response of to two different isolates in comparison with wheat.
