Shifting sensitivity of septoria tritici blotch compromises field performance and yield of main fungicides in Europe

Lise Nistrup Jorgensen et al.

Summary: Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, is a severe leaf disease on wheat in Northern Europe. The increasing fungicide resistance in Z. tritici populations poses challenges to future control options. A series of field trials across Europe from 2019 to 2021 investigated the efficacy of specific DMI and SDHI fungicides against STB. Significant differences in azole performances were observed among countries, with mefentrifluconazole outperforming prothioconazole. The efficacy of SDHIs varied, with fluxapyroxad providing the best overall efficacy. However, lower efficacy of SDHIs was observed in Ireland and the UK compared to continental Europe, coinciding with the prevalence of specific SDH-C alterations. Co-formulations of DMIs + SDHIs performed well in all trials conducted in 2021. This study highlights the importance of implementing anti-resistance strategies to delay the erosion of fungicide efficacy.

Baseline sensitivity of European Zymoseptoria tritici populations to the complex III respiration inhibitor fenpicoxamid

Steven Kildea et al.

Summary: The study found a wide range of sensitivity to fenpicoxamid in European Z. tritici populations, with limited or non-existing target-site resistance mechanisms and limited impact of non-target site resistance mechanisms in the field.

Decreasing azole sensitivity of Z. tritici in Europe contributes to reduced and varying field efficacy

L. N. Jorgensen et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in the efficacy of different fungicides against Septoria tritici blotch across Europe, indicating a challenge in controlling this disease. Variability in sensitivity of Z. tritici to different azoles further complicates disease control measures. The research also revealed varying levels of cross-resistance among different azoles, depending on specific CYP51 mutations.

Large-scale study validates that regional fungicide applications are major determinants of resistance evolution in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici in France

Maxime Garnault et al.

Summary: A study conducted in France found that the evolution of fungicide resistance is mainly determined by the regional scale of fungicide use. The results of the study suggest that collective management at the regional scale can effectively complement local actions.

Spatio-temporal distribution of DMI and SDHI fungicide resistance of Zymoseptoria tritici throughout Europe based on frequencies of key target-site alterations

Pierre Hellin et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the frequency of key alterations causing resistance in commercial wheat crops across European countries, revealing the highest frequencies in Ireland and Great Britain, with a gradual increase over the past decade. While these alterations are becoming dominant in certain regions, there is still potential to delay their selection across the wider European population, highlighting the need for the implementation of fungicide antiresistance measures.

Development of a PacBio Long-Read Sequencing Assay for High Throughput Detection of Fungicide Resistance in Zymoseptoria tritici

Berit Samils et al.

Summary: Fungicide resistance in Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, poses a significant challenge in winter wheat management in Europe. To monitor and predict resistance development, researchers have developed a PacBio assay for multiplex amplification and long-read sequencing of target genes, showing promising results in Irish Z. tritici collections.
