A Plant Pathologist on Wheat Breeding with Special Reference to Septoria Diseases

J.C. Zadoks
J C. ZADOKS

This review has a personal, plant pathologist's outlook on plant breeding. It touches upon some generalities, among which the "three stages" of plant breeding, participatory plant breeding and biotechnology in plant breeding. It delves deep into modern molecular studies on leaf blotch (anamorph Septoria tritici) and glume blotch (anamorph Septoria nodorum) of wheat. Epidemiological knowledge of the teleomorphs Mycosphaerella graminicola and Stagonospora nodorum has progressed with great strides. Consequences for applied plant breeding slowly become visible.

Keywords: glume blotch; leaf blotch; molecular epidemiology; Mycosphaerella graminicola; Septoria nodorum; Septoria tritici; Stagonospora nodorum
