A single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in the cytochrome b gene confers resistance to strobilurin fungicides in Erysiphe graminis DC fsp tritici Marchal. On the basis of this point mutation three different types of molecular markers have been developed. Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences and allele-specific PCR were used to score resistant and sensitive isolates from specifically selected regional populations across Europe. The results of molecular tests were in total agreement with the resistance phenotypes revealed by in vivo tests. Serial dilutions of mixed samples (resistant/sensitive) delimited the detection for strobilurin-resistant alleles to a range of 10-50% for both marker classes. Due to these detection limits no mixture of mitochondria within individual isolates was found. Denaturing high performance chromatography was used to increase the detection sensitivity for the mutant allele. Although the detection limit was lowered to 5-10%, there was no evidence for the existence of mixed mitochondrial genotypes.

Since the domestication of plants, pathogenic fungi have consistently threatened crop production, evolving genetically to develop increased virulence under various selection pressures. Understanding their evolutionary trends is crucial for predicting and designing control measures against future disease outbreaks. This paper reviews the evolution of fungal pathogens from natural habitats to agricultural settings, focusing on eight significant phytopathogens: , , spp.

Article Synopsis
- Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a highly destructive disease impacting wheat, particularly affecting common wheat, but durum wheat serves as a key resource for enhancement efforts.* -
- The study identified a durum wheat variety (DR88) with strong resistance to powdery mildew, localizing the dominant resistance gene, PmDR88, to a specific region on chromosome arm 2AL and confirming its association with the Pm4 locus through extensive genotyping.* -
- Despite PmDR88 sharing amino acid sequences with the Pm4d allele, it has distinct expression patterns; two complementary DNA markers were developed for efficient marker-assisted selection to integrate this
