In Conclusion
• Estimate the barley powdery mildew epidemic in WA costs ~$100M pa.
• Susceptible cultivars + fungicides from a single chemical class = build up of resistance.
• High levels of resistance with combination of two mutations. • Development of Digital PCR for high throughput screening for
resistance. • Mutations in barley powdery mildew found in WA are now
starting to occur in East Aust. • Precursor fungicide resistance mutations now found in wheat
powdery mildew isolates in East Aust. • Need to act quickly and effectively to avoid subsequent losses
from these pathogens.
