This study evaluates three endophytic bacteria for their ability to control Leptosphaeria maculans isolates causing blackleg in oilseed rape, finding strong inhibition and growth promotion effects.

The study evaluates fungicide sensitivity of Leptosphaeria maculans isolates from Argentina, finding variability in response to azoxystrobin and boscalid with potential cross-resistance, but no correlation with prothioconazole.

This study shows that Sirodesmin PL, a toxin from Leptosphaeria maculans, induces cell death and defense responses in Brassica napus by disrupting photosynthesis.
