Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The Triticum pathotype of Magnaporthe oryzae (MoT) mainly infects wheat heads.
- Observation Wheat blast symptoms closely resemble Fusarium head blight.
- Intervention effect Fungicides have shown limited efficacy against wheat blast.
- Mechanism A small number of pathogen avirulence (AVR) genes block other host-adapted M. oryzae pathotypes from infecting wheat.
- Observation The recent appearance of wheat blast in Bangladesh demonstrates the threat of global spread.
- Recommendation Wheat blast management requires identification of new resistance sources and a complete understanding of MoT ecology and wheat blast epidemiology.
