Abstract

Cereal powdery mildews can be controlled by breeding and by fungicides. The objective of this project is to understand mechanisms underlying variation in the mildew pathogen, Erysiphe graminis, and to develop knowledge of the genetics of resistance. Work on the pathogen includes genetic analysis of virulences and responses to fungicides and development of molecular marker maps. It also includes the development of statistical and molecular mehods to investigate the population genetics of the mildew pathogen. Work on the host involves genetic analysis of durable resistance of detection of QTLs by molecular markers and by cytogenetics. The latter approach is also used in studying leaf blotch, caused by Septoria tritici.
