Fungicides are widely used in developed agricultural systems to control disease and
safeguard crop yield and quality. Over time, however, resistance to many of the most …

Plant fungal pathogens can have devastating effects on a wide range of crops, including
cereals and fruit (such as wheat and grapes), causing losses in crop yield, which are costly …

Abstract The order Chaetothyriales (Pezizomycotina, Ascomycetes) harbours obligatorily
melanised fungi and includes numerous etiologic agents of chromoblastomycosis …

This review summarises recent investigations into the molecular mechanisms responsible
for the decline in sensitivity to azole (imidazole and triazole) fungicides in European …

Azoles have been applied widely to combat pathogenic fungi in medicine and agriculture
and, consequently, loss of efficacy has occurred in populations of some species. Often, but …

The first eukaryote genome revealed three yeast cytochromes P450 (CYPs), hence the
subsequent realization that some microbial fungal genomes encode these proteins in 1 per …

Background Powdery mildew, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Erysiphe necator, is
an economically important disease of grapevines worldwide. Large quantities of fungicides …

The evolution and spread of pan-azole resistance alleles in clinical and environmental
isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus is a global human health concern. The identification of …

Fungal diseases are an increasing global burden. Fungi are now recognised to kill more
people annually than malaria, whilst in agriculture, fungi threaten crop yields and food …

BACKGROUND: The recent evolution towards resistance to azole fungicides in European
populations of the wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola has been caused by the …
