Journal Article
Sims, I., Jayaweera, D., Swarup, K., & Ray, R. V. (2023). Molecular characterisation of defence of Brassica napus (Oilseed rape) to Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 confirmed by functional analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Phytopathology, 113(8), 1525-1536. https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-08-22-0305-R

Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic, soilborne fungal pathogen associated with significant establishment losses in Brassica napus (oilseed rape; OSR). The anastomosis group (AG) 2-1 of R. solani is the most virulent to OSR, causing damping-off, root...

Fungal plant pathogen “mutagenomics” reveals tagged and untagged mutations in Zymoseptoria tritici and identifies SSK2 as key morphogenesis and stress-responsive virulence factor (2023)
Journal Article
Blyth, H. R., Smith, D., King, R., Bayon, C., Ashfield, T., Walpole, H., …Rudd, J. J. (2023). Fungal plant pathogen “mutagenomics” reveals tagged and untagged mutations in Zymoseptoria tritici and identifies SSK2 as key morphogenesis and stress-responsive virulence factor.

“Mutagenomics” is the combination of random mutagenesis, phenotypic screening, and whole-genome re-sequencing to uncover all tagged and untagged mutations linked with phenotypic changes in an organism. In this study, we performed a mutagenomics scree...

A large bioassay identifies Stb resistance genes that provide broad resistance against Septoria tritici blotch disease in the UK (2023)
Journal Article
Tidd, H., Rudd, J. J., Ray, R. V., Bryant, R., & Kanyuka, K. (2023). A large bioassay identifies Stb resistance genes that provide broad resistance against Septoria tritici blotch disease in the UK. Frontiers in Plant Science, 13, Article 1070986. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.1070986

Introduction: Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is one of the most damaging fungal diseases of wheat in Europe, largely due to the paucity of effective resistance genes against it in breeding materials. Currently dominant protection methods against this... Read More about A large bioassay identifies Stb resistance genes that provide broad resistance against Septoria tritici blotch disease in the UK.
