Genetic Diversity, Fungicide Sensitivity, and Host Resistance to Ceratocystis fimbriata Infecting Sweetpotato in North Carolina

PLANT DISEASE, 101(6), 994–1001.

By: A. Scruggs n, T. Basaiah, M. Adams n & L. Quesada-Ocampo  n

TL;DR: Low efficacy of dicloran, as well as a range of EC50 values among isolates, suggests potential resistance to this commonly applied fungicide. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Susceptibility of Maize to Stalk Rot Caused by Fusarium graminearum Deoxynivalenol and Zearalenone Mutants

PHYTOPATHOLOGY, 106(8), 920–927.

By: L. Quesada-Ocampo  n, J. Al-Haddad  n, A. Scruggs n, C. Buell  n & F. Trail  n

MeSH headings : DNA, Plant / genetics; Fusarium / genetics; Fusarium / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Fungal / physiology; Genetic Predisposition to Disease; Mutation; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Trichothecenes / genetics; Trichothecenes / metabolism; Zea mays / genetics; Zea mays / microbiology; Zearalenone / genetics; Zearalenone / metabolism
TL;DR: Findings are an additional step toward breeding maize inbreds suitable for planting in fields infested with F. graminearum, and establish whether deoxynivalenol (DON)- and zearalenone (ZEA)-deficient strains are pathogenic on a panel of diverse inbredS. (via Semantic Scholar)
