Emerging fungal and oomycete pathogens infect staple calorie crops and economically
important commodity crops, thereby posing a significant risk to global food security. Our …

Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to
global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens …

Due to their different lifestyles, effective defence against biotrophic pathogens normally
leads to increased susceptibility to necrotrophs, and vice versa. Solving this trade‐off is a …

Plant pathogens are a significant challenge in agriculture despite our best efforts to combat
them. One of the most effective and sustainable ways to manage plant pathogens is to use …

Variety mixtures can provide a range of benefits for both the crop and the environment. Their
utility for the suppression of pathogens, especially in small grain crops, is well established …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Background Due to their high protein content, nuts (almond, walnut, and pistachio) are
among the main substitutes for meat, with a growing share of the food basket in the United …

Quantitative resistance has gained interest in plant breeding for pathogen control in low-
input cropping systems. Although quantitative resistance frequently has only a partial effect …

Loss-of-function mutations of one or more of the appropriate Mildew resistance locus o (Mlo)
genes are an apparently reliable “weapon” to protect plants from infection by powdery …

We investigated whether the recent worldwide epidemics of wheat yellow rust were driven
by races of few clonal lineage (s) or populations of divergent races. Race phenotyping of …
