Abstract

Stem base disease of cereals is caused by a complex of fungi, including Tapesia and Fusarium species along with Rhizoctonia cerealis and varieties of Microdochium nivale. Understanding and control of this disease has been impeded by the lack of suitable markers by which to detect and, most importantly, to quantify the level of each pathogen in host tissue. This project aims to exploit the recent advances made in diagnostic technologies to investigate the interactions between host varieties, fungicides and pathogens at the stem base. Through these studies it is hoped to develop rational environmentally sensitivity programmes for disease control.
