Fungal mechanism reveals how powdery mildew overcomes wheat immune defenses
Cereals have natural resistance to pathogenic fungi, but powdery mildew, for example, can overcome this resistance. A team at the University of Zurich has now discovered a new mechanism that enables powdery mildew to outsmart the immune system of wheat. This opens the door to targeted development of resistant varieties with a reduced risk of resistance breakthrough.
Floats can trick natural resistances of wheat. Scientists at the University of Zurich have deciphered the tricks of the fungus. Now they want to turn the Spiess for the wheat.
