Abstract | Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most commercially important diseases of wheat globally. Recently, both genetic factors of the previously characterised gene-for-gene interaction between Z. tritici and wheat have been identified: the wheat receptor-like kinase Stb6 and the Z. tritici secreted effector protein AvrStb6. Genetic diversity analysis of AvrStb6 in historic collections of Z. tritici from global populations has been carried out and recently published. However, the prevalence of AvrStb6 haplotypes that may allow evasion of Stb6-mediated defence in modern Z. tritici isolates is currently unknown. We therefore analysed genetic diversity of AvrStb6 in 2016-2017 Z. tritici field populations from the UK, Western Europe, USA, South America, and Australia. |
