This paper develops a ddPCR assay to detect CAA fungicide resistance in Phytophthora infestans by identifying mutations in the CesA3 gene at position 1105.

This paper develops two digital droplet PCR assays to detect and differentiate three barley pathogens from seeds, achieving sensitive and specific detection at low concentrations.

This study analyzes the population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe, revealing population structure linked to wind patterns and identifying loci under selection, including fungicide targets and avirulence genes.
