3602-22000-013-01S Proposal No. Zymoseptoria tritici, synonyms Septoria tritici, Mycosphaerella graminicola, is a species of filamentous fungus, an ascomycete in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. It has been estimated that well over half of all fungicide usage on European cereals was aimed at controlling STB. Septoria tritici blotch is a common disease of wheat, often occurring alongside other foliar diseases. To investigate the intensity of Septoria tritici blotch in Tigray, where wheat is one of the major crops, disease assessment surveys were conducted from 2011 to 2013 main cropping seasons. Silfhout. The influx of new genomic data will contribute to the elucidation of the genetic and biochemical bases for the host-pathogen interaction. The only other disease that has black fruiting bodies within the blotches is Septoria nodorum blotch, but this disease is rare in Victoria. Effective foliar fungicide sprays are available if necessary. Among the biotic factors, Septoria tritici blotch (Septoria 2001; Bearchell et al. have been used previously as biocontrol agents to protect wheat plants against leaf spot diseases in Argentina. Goodwin, and G.H.J. These genes can be placed into two classes, although a few may have characteristics of both classes. Sponsoring Institution. Products that combine a strobilurin (Group 11) fungicide with a triazole (Group 3) fungicide may reduce the risk of resistance development. The second is to used fungicides that combine triazoles, such as propiconazole and cyproconazole, or tebuconazole and flutriafol, which are registered for Septoria tritici blotch. Grant Hollaway, Frank Henry. During the necrotrophic stage, the hyphae macerate host cells causing collapse. Smiley. Zymoseptoria tritici is the causative fungal pathogen of septoria tritici blotch (STB) disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that continuously threatens wheat crops in Ireland and throughout Europe. HOSTS:  Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), durum wheat (T. turgidum [L.] ssp. Histology of the pathogenesis of Mycosphaerella graminicola in wheat. The cost of fungicides to control the disease can be high, and fungicide treatments may not be economical depending on the price of grain. Agricultural Research Service/USDA Project Status. Septoria tritici blotch (‘Septoria’), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici (alternatively Mycosphaerella graminicola), first became a major foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in Europe in the late 1970s (Hardwick et al., 2001; Shaw et al., 2008). Fungicides are only recommended when they would be of economic benefit. Each spore typically has 3-7 indistinct septa and measures approximately 2.6 x 62.5 µm. In: Lucas JA, Bowyer P and Anderson HM (eds) Septoria … Such practices will have more effect if undertaken on a district basis. The efficacy of these compounds is also decreasing due to mutations in the cyp51 gene, although other factors also may be involved. Goodwin, S.B., C. Waalwijk, and G.H.J. CIMMYT. These spores are disseminated by rain splash to leaves of the same or nearby plants. Intercellular biotrophic phase as hyphae extend within mesophyll tissue and obtain nutrients from the plant apoplast; 2-12 days after contact (Figures 14-15), iv. To investigate the intensity of Septoria tritici blotch in Tigray, where wheat is one of the major crops, disease assessment surveys were conducted from 2011 to 2013 main cropping seasons. Introduction. However, the commonest fungicides currently being applied are azoles. The foliar pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici causes one of the primary diseases of wheat in Europe and elsewhere. Hence, strobilurins are only being used in areas where resistance did not (abundantly) develop yet as these compounds also contribute to a longer green life of flag leaves and therefore to yield. Two mutations of Septoria tritici blotch giving resistance to triazole fungicides were identified. Septoria tritici blotch affects only wheat and is an important foliar disease of wheat in the Sacramento and northern San Joaquin valleys. Conidia of M. graminicola may germinate in free water from one or both ends or from intermediary cells. Infection by M. graminicola is initiated by air-borne ascospores and splash-dispersed conidia produced on residues of the previous season's crop (Figure 17). These mutations reduce the effectiveness of fungicides, rather than making them completely ineffective. in Desm. The initial symptoms of STB are small chlorotic spots on the leaves that appear soon after seedlings emerge in the fall or spring. Sexual fruiting bodies, known as pseudothecia, also are produced within lesions. If this is not possible, destroying stubble by grazing or cultivation will reduce the number of spores available to infect the new season's crop. Accession No. It is a big problem on durum wheat in Iran, Tunisia and Morocco. To minimise the chance of further resistance developing it will be important pay careful attention to fungicide strategies and use an integrated approach to management. Author(s) : Ponomarenko, ... pseudomonads, resistance to disease, rotational cropping, Septoria tritici, Septoria tritici blotch of wheat, spring wheat, surveillance systems, Triticum durum, Triticum turgidum ssp. Septoria tritici blotch caused by the ascomycete fungus Zymoseptoria tritici presents a serious and consistent challenge to global wheat production. It currently is the most important disease of wheat in Europe and is among the top two or three most economically damaging diseases of this crop in the United States. STB epidemics can cause a yield loss of up to 50% in fields when a susceptible wheat cultivar is grown [ 8, 9 ]. It is a disease of global importance and has recently been reported as the third most important disease to wheat production globally with losses ranked behind leaf rust and Fusarium head blight. These spores disperse through rain wash and splashing, causing local spread of the disease to uninfected leaves of the same and nearby plants. In the United States, STB is second only to wheat rust in terms of importance, and it is the number one disease of wheat in Russia and many countries of western Europe. These spores can be spread over large distances. The third is to use fungicides with different modes of action. This video clip was taken from Fungal Pathogens and Diseases of Cereals Vol. Tunisia-based Septoria phenotyping platform plays critical role in identifying sources of resistance to the disease Pycnidia develop around stomata within the necrotic areas of the lesions and exude conidia in gelatinous, hygroscopic cirrhi. Proceedings of the Fifth International Septoria Workshop, September 1999, CIMMYT, Mexico. However, unlike quantitative resistance against many other pathogens, that against M. graminicola may be isolate specific so could be circumvented more easily. Genetic variation for virulence and resistance in the wheat-Mycosphaerella graminicola pathosystem I. Interactions between pathogen isolates and host cultivars. Animal Science (General) - (LL000) Animal Anatomy and Morphology (New March 2000) - (LL400) Animal Behaviour - (LL300) Animal Breeding and Genetics (Discontinued March 2000) - (LL200) Animal Genetics - (LL220) Animal Genetics and Breeding (New March 2000) - (LL240) In the field, some Stb genes have been quite durable (long lasting) while others have failed due to rapid genetic change in the pathogen population. This will cause yield loss in that variety, and in adjacent moderately susceptible wheat crops. Genomic information can help develop additional molecular diagnostic tools for elucidation of the interactions between M. graminicola and wheat, as well as whole-genome comparisons, genetic mapping, and expression data, which will increasingly help to design improved strategies to manage STB. 0405310 Grant No. An integrated approach that incorporates variety selection, cultural practices, crop rotation and fungicides is the most effective way to manage Septoria tritici blotch. After the switch from biotrophic to necrotrophic growth, cells collapse, lesions form and are identified initially by small, yellow flecks or blotches. Epidemics can be particularly devastating in developing countries, such as those in East Africa. While not yet registered in Australia, SDHI (Group 7) carboxamide fungicides mixed with triazole (Group 3) fungicides are being used in New Zealand and the United Kingdom to manage Septoria tritici blotch. USDA COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT . Autumn-sown crops and volunteer plants can aid survival over winter. The present study was targeted to determine the virulence pattern of eight bread wheat derived Ethiopian Z. tritici … Yu, H.J. Asexual spores ooze from pycnidia when the leaf surface is wet and spores are dispersed by splash to other leaves where they cause new infections. Asexual spores, or conidia, are hyaline (clear) and threadlike and are produced in specialized structures called pycnidia (Figures 7-9). Abstract Changes in the incidence and severity of S. (Leptosphaeria) nodorum blotch (SNB) and S. tritici (Mycosphaerella graminicola) blotch (STB) have been noted in recent years in several wheat-growing areas of the world. Factors to consider include the projected yield and loss from STB and whether the cost of fungicide will justify the expected benefit. The Septoria diseases of wheat:  Concepts and methods of disease management. 241.66 kb Septoria Tritici Blotch Fact Sheet: Managing Septoria tritici blotch disease in wheat Changes in Septoria tritici blotch resistance to fungicides have been detected in the southern grain growing region, especially where wheat is sown into wheat stubble. Septoria tritici blotch (STB) of wheat. Primary inoculum and the early stages of STB epidemics are still not fully understood and deserve attention for improving management strategies. For example, Stb1 has remained effective in Indiana for more than 25 years, while Stb4 was effective in California for 14 years before it failed, but only lasted one or two years in Oregon. Leaf spot diseases affecting wheat in Western Australia are septoria nodorum blotch, yellow spot and septoria tritici blotch. Hyphae that enter the stomata are constricted to ~1 µm in diameter but widen after reaching the substomatal cavity. They are exuded from the pycnidia in cirrhi (slimy, tendril-like spore masses), which usually are milky white to buff. Initial growth of the hyphae on the leaf surface; 0-24 hours after contact, ii. At least 20 hours of high relative humidity are needed for successful infection. As they enlarge, the lesions (Figure 2) become light tan and develop darker colored fruiting bodies (Figure 3). Fungi belonging to Trichoderma spp. Strobilurins on their own are considered to be at high risk of developing resistance due to their single site mode of action. 2005. Increasing resistance of Zymoseptoria tritici to some triazole (Group 3) fungicides was recently detected in Victoria by Dr Andrew Milgate, NSW Department of Primary Industries. Wallwork H (2000) Cereal Leaf and Stem Diseases. Several biological controls are currently being evaluated for STB, and some have shown promise but none is available yet for commercial production. Following rain or heavy dew in late autumn and early winter, wind borne spores (ascospores) are released from fruiting bodies (perithecia) embedded in the stubble of previously infected plants. The recent release of the M. graminicola genome sequence is an important step in fully understanding and identifying genes and processes that can be used to help control this important pathogen. Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of one of the European Union's most devastating foliar diseases of wheat: Septoria tritici Blotch (STB). A combination of wind and rain provides the most favourable conditions for spread of this disease within crops. Similar qualitative thresholds were provided in Denmark (Hansen et al. durum), AuthorsAlisa Ponomarenko1, Stephen B. Goodwin2, and Gert H. J. Kema31Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN2USDA-ARS, Crop Production and Pest Control Research Unit, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN3Plant Research International, Wageningen,
 The Netherlands. This may be connected to the genetic composition of the local pathogen population, which can be affected by cultivars grown, the suitability of the environment for infection, and the relative importance of the sexual stage in the disease cycle. 1987. Septoria tritici blotch occurs throughout the world in countries as diverse as Argentina, Ethiopia, Iran, the United States, the Netherlands, Russia, New Zealand, and Australia. Baayen. Genetic variation for virulence and resistance in the wheat-Mycospharella graminicola pathosystem II. Bowden, R.M. Alternating fungicides with different modes of action helps mitigate the development of resistance. Ascospores are ejected forcibly from the asci at maturity due to fluctuations of relative humidity following periods of moisture. A more uniform appearance of the disease is typical when the airborne ascospores are plentiful during the initial infection. Volume 4, Fungal Genomics. In this commentary, we highlight the importance of STB on wheat … Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is an economically important foliar disease on wheat. Kema. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the important cereal crops in Ethiopia. 1). Early ascospore infections cause blotches on the leaves. Germination of conidia can be from lateral or intermediary cells. Crop rotations are important to ensure wheat is not sown into paddocks with high levels of stubble-borne inoculum. Under favorable conditions, STB can cause up to 50% yield losses if left untreated. Scharen, J.M. 2005). Epidemics can be particularly devastating in developing countries, such as those in East Africa. Kema, G.H.J., R. Sayoud, J.G. STB is found commonly in the same fields and on the same plants as Phaeosphaeria nodorum (asexual stage: Stagonospora nodorum), the causal agent of Stagonospora nodorum blotch of wheat. There are two major Septoria diseases in wheat. When using fungicides, it is important that growers always follow label guidelines and ensure maximum residue limits are adhered to. Wheat resistance or susceptibility does not affect spore germination on the leaf surfaces. It is widely grown in most of the regions in the country, including Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR); however its production is affected by abiotic and biotic factors. (N/A) Program Code (N/A) Project Start Date. 2010. In early sown susceptible varieties, a fungicide application at growth stage 31-32 may be required to suppress the disease and protect emerging leaves. The American Phytopathological Society (APS). This is extremely important as fungicide resistance to Septoria tritici blotch had been detected in Australia. 1996. Scharen, A.L. Pseudomonads also have been tested as potential biocontrol agents. It is particularly severe in years of higher than average rainfall and is especially damaging when late spring rains persist after emergence of the flag leaf. They are globose, dark brown, and approximately 68-114 µm in diameter. Late planting of winter wheat (e.g., mid- October versus late September) also may be used as a strategy to moderate the amount of initial infection by avoiding ascospore flights in a newly planted wheat crop. Septoria tritici is the most important wheat disease in the UK. The risk of introducing exotic diseases or new mutations of a pathogen into Australia can be minimised by having a biosecurity hygiene plan following overseas travel. Ponomarenko A., S.B. Primary infections from an ascospore shower will occur evenly over a crop and give rise to lesions that bear pycnidia, the asexual structures that allow for rapid dispersal of the secondary inoculum, conidia. The current research was conducted to determine the impact of wheat varieties and fungicides on disease development and wheat yield. Approximately 70% of the estimated volume of fungicide used on cereals in Europe is used to control STB. Septoria and Stagonospora Diseases of Cereals:  A Compilation of Global Research. Monitoring of disease is crucial to assess its progress in the field. Genetics and Genomics of Mycosphaerella graminicola:  a model for the Dothideales. Septoria tritici blotch is a common disease of wheat, often occurring alongside other foliar diseases. Applications of cells of two isolates of fluorescent pseudomonads from soil to wheat seedlings prior to inoculation with M. graminicola markedly reduced symptom expression. Several others have been identified but not yet published in peer-reviewed journals. After colonizing the substomatal cavity, hyphae proliferate extracellularly in the mesophyll (Figures 13-15), but do not penetrate these and epidermal cells. Proceedings of the Fifth International Septoria Workshop, September 1999, CIMMYT, Mexico. These tiny black spots give the blotches a characteristic speckled appearance. 1996. Quantitative resistance also is known and may occur commonly in wheat cultivars. Nach drei bis sechs Tagen entwickeln sich die Chlorosen zu grau-grünen Nekrosen (abgestorbenes Blattgewebe). To date, 13 major (qualitative) genes for resistance to STB have been named, mapped and published, and some of them have been found to interact in a gene-for-gene manner with the pathogen. 2004. The eight ascospores encapsulated by each ascus are hyaline (clear), elliptical, and 2.5-4 x 9-16 µm in size, consisting of two cells of unequal length (Figures 10-11). Hunger, W.L. Phytopathology 86: 200-212. However, a persistent disease known as Septoria tritici blotch (STB) has been threatening durum wheat harvests across the country thanks to its increasing resistance to fungicides and adaptability to harsher climatic conditions. Mycosphaerella graminicola is the name of the sexual stage (teleomorph) of the pathogen. Phytopathology 86: 213-224. The fungus has a bipolar, heterothallic mating system; individuals of both mating types, designated mat1-1 and mat1-2, must come together to effect sexual reproduction. Academic Press, Inc, San Diego. Severe epidemics of STB can reduce wheat yields by 35 to 50%. These are Septoria tritici blotch, incited by the fungus Septoria tritici (teleomorph: Mycophaerella graminicola), and Septoria nodorum blotch, caused by the fungus Septoria nodorum (teleomorph: Leptosphaeria nodorum). Macroscopic disease symptoms generally do not appear before nine days after contact with the pathogen. Several fungicides are used currently to control STB. in Cohn (anamorph= Septoria tritici Roberge in Desmaz.). It is important to very susceptible varieties as they will build up inoculum levels. In high risk areas, the timing of fungicides will be important to achieve adequate disease control. Within these blotches a second type of fruiting body, pycnidia, are produced. Resistance to some triazole (Group 3) fungicides was recently detected in Victoria by Dr Andrew Milgate, NSW Department of Primary Industries. A 1-year rotation out of wheat is generally effective to provide disease break. The increase in STB in the high rainfall zone has been favoured by: STB is prone to developing resistance to fungicides. Kema, G.H.J., J.G. 1994) for both Septoria nodorum blotch and Septoria tritici blotch, where eight days with rainfall ≥1 mm in a 30-day period starting at stem elongation correlated with disease severity and yield response. Basic biosecurity hygiene includes washing clothes and cleaning footwear before returning to Australia. Morrill, T.D. Please turn on JavaScript and try again. Initial inoculum usually consists of airborne ascospores, which cause the primary infections on seedling leaves, but also can be from conidia. Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is an important stubble-borne foliar disease of wheat in Victoria. Ascospore germ tubes are attracted to the stomata, through which they gain entry into the sub-stomatal cavity either directly or after production of an appressorium-like structure (infection cushion). In: Gilchrist L, Van Ginkel M, McNab A and Kema GHJ (eds) Proceedings of a Septoria tritici Workshop (pp 27-33) CIMMYT, Mexico DF. Septoria tritici blotch is an important disease in many wheat-producing areas of Ethiopia which causes significant yield losses. They are caused by three different fungal pathogens but the disease symptoms and biologies are similar. Production and dispersal of conidia occurs quite rapidly compared to pseudothecia with ascospores, which take several weeks until ripening. For several days the hyphae grow intercellularly with little increase in biomass. 1996. ex Desm., is a second inheritance model proposes that resistance is major constraint to wheat production worldwide. This paper reviews current knowledge about genes for resistance to Septoria tritici blotch (STB) of wheat, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (formerly Mycosphaerella graminicola). In this commentary, we highlight the importance of STB on wheat in the EU. Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is an economically important foliar disease in the major wheat-growing areas of Ethiopia. Knowledge of physiologic specialization of the pathogen and identification of potential source of resistance are prerequisite for designing durable management strategies. Asci, containing ascospores, measure approximately 11-14 x 30-40 µm. The lifestyle of M. graminicola is hemibiotrophic. In Europe, annual losses from STB are estimated to be $400 million dollars, and similar loss estimates for the United States are more than $275 million dollars per year. It is a major wheat disease in all wheat growing areas of the world . Septoria tritici blotch caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici is a serious threat to wheat production worldwide. Septoria tritici blotch survives from one season to the next on stubble. Secondary spread of STB is by conidia, which form readily in high humidity, particularly if there is free water present on the leaves, but also can be by ascospores. Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) J. Schröt. Rain splash of conidia can lead to disease foci, which can give a patchy appearance to the overall disease distribution in a field. The pseudothecia are formed underneath the host epidermis. When both pathogens occur together, they are referred to collectively as the Septoria blotch complex or Septoria complex. A major problem for chemical control is that many populations of M. graminicola have rapidly evolved resistance to fungicides, especially to the strobilurin class of chemicals. Back to basics and beyond: increasing the level of resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in wheat. Elsevier Press, San Diego. When the disease is severe, entire leaves may be affected by disease lesions. The pathogen reduces green leaf area for photosynthesis. Dr Grant HollawayCereal Pathologist - Horsham03 4311 3111, Field Crops PathologyGrains Innovation Park110 Natimuk RdHorsham 3400(03) 4344 3111, Or call the Customer Service Centre, 136 186. The first resistance of M. graminicola to these compounds was detected in 2002, and populations of the fungus in many regions are now nearly all resistant. Septoria tritici blotch, also called Septoria leaf spot or speckled leaf blotch of wheat is caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage Zymoseptoria tritici, synonym Septoria tritici ). Ascospores can be airborne over large distances, while conidia are unlikely to travel far from their site of origin by rain-splash dispersal. Septoria leaf blotch of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) caused by the pathogen Septoria tritici Rob. Septoria tritici blotch (STB), a fungal foliar disease of wheat (Triti- resistance to STB, designated Slb1, Slb2, and Slb3.A cum aestivum L.) caused by Septoria tritici Rob. This disease has increased in importance in the high rainfall cropping regions during the last five years, even though it has been well controlled in Victoria for the last 30 years through the use of partially resistant wheat varieties. This phase of disease development depends on the rain splash of spores, therefore Septoria tritici blotch will be most severe in seasons with above average spring rainfall. Involvement of a toxin in the switch from biotrophic to necrotrophic growth is suspected but has not yet been proven. If high risk areas have been visited, consider leaving clothing and footwear behind. Plant Heath Australia Fact Sheet: Is Your Farm at Risk? Rijkenberg, M.W. Primary penetration of the leaf is through stomata (Figure 12). Mesophyll cells die rapidly beginning around 11-18 days after infection immediately prior to symptom expression. 2011. The pycnidia or pseudothecia develop in the substomatal cavities of the host so are spaced regularly within the lesions (Figure 3). It is a wheat plant pathogen causing septoria leaf blotch that is difficult to control due to resistance to multiple fungicides. Eyal, Z., A.L. Whenever possible, the use of qualitative Stb genes should be combined with quantitative resistance to help ensure its stability. Impact from leaf spot diseases vary greatly from season to season and between locations. Mycosphaerella is one of the largest genera of plant-pathogenic fungi and includes the banana black Sigatoka pathogen, M. fijiensis, and many other significant pathogens of important agricultural crops. Introduction. Until recently, little was known about the genetics of resistance to this disease in comparison to, for example, the better-studied rust diseases and mildew. Kema. 2007. A seed dressing of a fungicide, such a triticonazole, can be used in regions where the seedling stage can be affected by the pathogen. Elliptical, tan-brown lesions that often have yellowish halos first appear on seedling leaves. This resistance has to date been durable and sufficient to effectively control this disease in Victoria. Fungicides are currently the primary control method and anti-resistance strategies need to be applied to preserve and extend the useful life of these active ingredients. T hree important fungal leaf spot diseases, tan spot, Septoria/Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) and Septoria tritici blotch (STB), commonly occur (often as a complex) in North Dakota and have the potential to reduce test weight and yield by 50 percent. Spore germination occurs usually within 12 hours after leaf contact when the humidity is high. Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by Zymoseptoria tritici is currently one of the most devastating foliar diseases of wheat in Northwestern Europe causing yield losses every year (Fones and Gurr, 2015; Chawade et al., 2018).It is a hemibiotrophic fungus which penetrates host leaves through stomata and grows very slowly in the intercellular spaces of the mesophyll cells. A collection of Bacillus megaterium originating from the wheat rhizosphere and leaves, barley, oat chaff, and grain have been screened for their ability to inhibit STB. Septoria tritici blotch (also known as speckled leaf spot), Stagonospora nodorum blotch and tan spot (also known as yellow leaf spot) are the three most frequently occurring leaf blotch … American Phytopathological Society, St. Paul, MN. Septoria tritici blotch (STB) of wheat. This practice is not practicable in light soil areas where stubble must be kept to prevent erosion. Septoria tritici blotch of wheat. Annual. It is also known as Septoria leaf spot and is caused by Zymoseptoria tritici . Goodwin, S.B. Septoria tritici blotch of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is . Severe epidemics of STB can reduce wheat yields by 35 to 50%. (N/A) Multistate No. van Ginkel, M., A. McNab, and J. Krupinsky, eds, 1999. Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Mycosphaerella graminicola, is the most prevalent disease of wheat worldwide. Building resistance in wheat: International collaboration fights Septoria tritici blotch disease Posted in News . However, it is important to correctly identify Septoria tritici blotch before spraying with a fungicide as nutritional disorders such as aluminium toxicity or zinc deficiency can be confused with Septoria tritici blotch. Variety selection and crop rotations are essential for effective disease control. In the absence of the black fruiting bodies, which are visible to the naked eye, similar blotching symptoms may be caused by yellow leaf spot or nutritional disorders such as aluminium toxicity or zinc deficiency. Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola, is currently the most important foliar disease of wheat in many regions of the world, including Europe (Eyal & Levy, 1987; Polley & Thomas, 1991; van Ginkel & Rajaram, 1993; Cowger et al., 2000; Hardwick et al., 2001).The use of fungicides to control STB is expensive and not entirely reliable. Plant Pathology, 5th edition. This means it is biotrophic early in the infection process, deriving its nutrition from the apoplast around living cells, then kills the surrounding host cells and becomes necrotrophic (utilizing dead tissue) during the later stages of infection (Figure 16).
