Genome expansion and gene loss in powdery mildew fungi reveal tradeoffs in extreme parasitism.

• Pietro D. Spanu, James C Abbott, +60 authors Ralph Panstruga
• Science
• 2010

Powdery mildews are phytopathogens whose growth and reproduction are entirely dependent on living plant cells. The molecular basis of this life-style, obligate biotrophy, remains unknown. We present… (More)

Identification of isolates of the plant pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans with resistance to the triazole fungicide fluquinconazole using a novel In Planta assay

• Angela P Van de Wouw, Vicki L. Elliott, Steven Chang, Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz, Steven J Marcroft, Alexander Idnurm
• PloS one
• 2017

Leptosphaeria maculans is the major pathogen of canola (oilseed rape, Brassica napus) worldwide. In Australia, the use of azole fungicides has contributed to the 50-fold increase in canola production… (More)

Tempered mlo broad-spectrum resistance to barley powdery mildew in an Ethiopian landrace

• Xintian Ge, Weiwei Deng, Zheng Zhou Lee, Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz, Patrick Schweizer, Simon R. Ellwood
• Scientific reports
• 2016

Recessive mutations in the Mlo gene confer broad spectrum resistance in barley (Hordeum vulgare) to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei), a widespread and damaging disease. However, all… (More)

Demethylase Inhibitor Fungicide Resistance in Pyrenophora teres f. sp. teres Associated with Target Site Modification and Inducible Overexpression of Cyp51

• Wesley J. Mair, Weiwei Deng, +6 authors Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz
• Front. Microbiol.
• 2016

Pyrenophora teres f. sp. teres is the cause of net form of net blotch (NFNB), an economically important foliar disease in barley (Hordeum vulgare). Net and spot forms of net blotch are widely… (More)

Sensitivities to DMI fungicides in populations of Podosphaera fusca in south central Spain.

• Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz, Alejandro Pérez-García, +5 authors Juan Antonio Torés
• Pest management science
• 2010

BACKGROUND Cucurbit powdery mildew elicited by Podosphaera fusca (Fr.) U Braun & N Shishkoff limits crop production in Spain. Disease control is largely dependent on fungicides such as sterol… (More)

Spontaneous and CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutation of the osmosensor histidine kinase of the canola pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans

• Alexander Idnurm, Andrew S. Urquhart, Dinesh R Vummadi, Steven Chang, Angela P Van de Wouw, Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz
• Fungal Biology and Biotechnology
• 2017

The dicarboximide fungicide iprodione has been used to combat blackleg disease of canola (Brassica napus), caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans. For example, in Australia the fungicide was… (More)

Host–Multi-Pathogen Warfare: Pathogen Interactions in Co-infected Plants

• Araz S. Abdullah, Caroline S. Moffat, Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz, Mark R. Gibberd, J Nicole Hamblin, Ayalsew Zerihun
• Front. Plant Sci.
• 2017

Studies of plant-pathogen interactions have historically focused on simple models of infection involving single host-single disease systems. However, plant infections often involve multiple species… (More)
