Abstract Background Sheath blight (ShB) disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, is
one of the most economically damaging rice (Oryza sativa L.) diseases worldwide. There are …

Six components of partial resistance (RCs) were studied in 15 grapevine varieties with
partial resistance to Plasmopara viticola:(i) infection frequency (IFR, proportion of inoculation …

Grapevine varieties showing partial resistance to downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara
viticola, are a promising alternative to fungicides for disease control. Resistant varieties are …

Rhizoctonia solani is an important necrotrophic fungal pathogen which causes disease on
diverse plant species. It has been classified into 14 genetically distinct anastomosis groups …

This study characterized the early infection and establishment of the sheath blight pathogen
Rhizoctonia solani on a tolerant rice variety, Swarnadhaan (IET 5656), and a susceptible …

Rice sheath blight, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, continues to
be an important and challenging rice disease worldwide. Here, we used genome-wide …

Rice sheath blight is one of the main diseases in rice production. The traditional detection
method, which needs manual recognition, is usually inefficient and slow. In this study, a …

The cultivation of grape varieties with partial resistance to disease may become an important
component for disease management in the future. The impact of partial resistance on downy …
