Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on net blotch disease, a harmful fungal infection affecting barley plants, resulting in significant crop losses.
- - Researchers created a deep learning model using Cascade R-CNN and U-Net architectures to accurately detect and quantify disease symptoms on barley leaves, achieving 95% accuracy.
- - The model's effectiveness was validated against traditional measurement methods, showing promise for use in automated systems to monitor disease and evaluate biocontrol agents.
Article Synopsis
- Net blotch, a disease caused by the fungus Drechslera teres, negatively impacts barley production, prompting research into beneficial bacteria for plant protection.
- A specific bacterium strain, Paraburkholderia B25, has been identified to protect barley from this disease, while another strain, PsJN, was used for comparison.
- Gene expression analysis revealed that barley's defense mechanisms are influenced by the presence of bacteria and the pathogen, with strain B25 reducing defense compound production, shedding light on the interactions at play during infection.
Net blotch, induced by the ascomycete , has become among the most important disease of barley ( L.). Easily recognizable by brown reticulated stripes on the sensitive barley leaves, net blotch reduces the yield by up to 40% and decreases seed quality.

The consequences of this leaf disease are due to the impact of the infection on the photosynthetic performance of barley leaves. To limit the symptoms of this ascomycete, the use of beneficial bacteria known as "Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria" constitutes an innovative and environmentally friendly strategy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDF() is an ascomycete, responsible for net blotch, the most serious barley disease causing an important economic impact. The cell wall is a crucial structure for the growth and development of fungi. Thus, understanding cell wall structure, composition and biosynthesis can help in designing new strategies for pest management.
