Virulence, Aggressiveness, and Fungicide Sensitivity of spp. Associated with Soybean in Illinois.

Phytophthora root and stem rot (PRR), caused by , is one of the most devastating oomycete diseases of soybean in Illinois. Single resistant genes () are used to manage this pathogen but has adapted to , causing failure of resistance in many regions. In addition to , recent reports indicate that could also cause root rot in soybean.

Genomic regions associated with virulence in Setosphaeria turcica identified by linkage mapping in a biparental population.

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) and sorghum leaf blight (SLB) are significant diseases of maize and sorghum, respectively, caused by the filamentous fungus Setosphaeria turcica. Strains of S. turcica are typically host-specific and infect either maize or sorghum.

The Genetic Structure of Phellinus noxius and Dissemination Pattern of Brown Root Rot Disease in Taiwan.

Since the 1990s, brown root rot caused by Phellinus noxius (Corner) Cunningham has become a major tree disease in Taiwan. This fungal pathogen can infect more than 200 hardwood and softwood tree species, causing gradual to fast decline of the trees. For effective control, we must determine how the pathogen is disseminated and how the new infection center of brown root rot is established.
