Emergence of resistance to succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides in Pyrenophora teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata in Australia

This paper identifies novel mutations in the Sdh complex genes of Pyrenophora teres isolates in Australia that confer resistance to SDHI fungicides, with specific mutations linked to reduced in vitro sensitivity.

Chromatin-immunoprecipitation reveals the PnPf2 transcriptional network controlling effector-mediated virulence in a fungal pathogen of wheat

This study identifies PnPf2 as a central transcriptional regulator of virulence in Parastagonospora nodorum by characterizing its genomic targets and associated transcription factors.

Variability in an effector gene promoter of a necrotrophic fungal pathogen dictates epistasis and effector-triggered susceptibility in wheat

This study identifies a promoter element in the Tox1 gene of Parastagonospora nodorum that regulates effector expression and susceptibility in wheat, revealing its role in pathogen virulence and host resistance.

Parallel evolution of multiple mechanisms for demethylase inhibitor fungicide resistance in the barley pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. sp. maculata

This study identifies multiple independent mechanisms of DMI fungicide resistance in Pyrenophora teres f. sp. maculata, including promoter insertions and amino acid substitutions.

Analysis of mutations in West Australian populations of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei CYP51 conferring resistance to DMI fungicides

The paper analyzes mutations in the CYP51 gene of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei isolates from Western Australia, finding associations between specific mutations and resistance to DMI fungicides.
