Abstract:Plant pathogenic fungi are very widespread and can pose severe risks to global food production through single as well as mixed infection. Crop control is based on the use of synthetic chemicals and plant resistance breeding. However, fungal plant pathogens quickly overcome both strategies. During coinfections, plant pathogens can increase disease severity and change co-infecting genotypes virulence evolution. Hence, monitoring tools improving crop pathogen detection as well as understanding the impact of co-in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
