Early occurrence of Teratoramularia rumicicola in Japan: re-identification of historic strain GR1 and its pathogenic effects on Rumex species

This study re-identifies a historic fungal strain as Teratoramularia rumicicola and confirms its pathogenic effects on Rumex species, revealing its early occurrence in Japan.

Bioherbicidal activity and host range of Teratoramularia rumicicola strain TR4 isolated from Rumex crispus in Japan

This study identifies a fungal pathogen, Teratoramularia rumicicola strain TR4, that selectively targets Rumex weeds without affecting forage crops, suggesting its potential as a bioherbicide.
