Abstract

Fungi belonging to the genus Phoma form a phylogenetically heterogeneous group with a broad range of possible plant hosts. Most of them do not interfere with cultivation of crops; others, especially Phoma lingam with its perfect form Leptosphaeria maculans, are the causative agent of devastating field losses in rapeseed cultivation. Efficient disease management requires profound fundamental knowledge on biology and genetics of these organisms, which needs to be transferred into practical rules, effective for disease control in the field.

Good disease management implies reliable diagnosis tools, and reasonable procedures taking into account knowledge on infection pathways, the secretion of enzymes and toxins, and on the effects that these Phoma-specific substances cause in plants. Phoma forecasting, together with reasonable fungicide and cultivation regimes, are indispensable to avoid losses. Conventional breeding programmes for resistance have already been helpful in the past. Knowledge of various avirulence genes from Leptosphaeria maculans, together with the tremendously useful information from the genome sequence, will facilitate efficient plant breeding programmes in the future.
