Abstract
Members of the genus Stagonosporopsis, belonging to the Didymellaceae family within the Pleosporales order of fungi, include pathogens, endophytes, and saprobes. These fungi are globally distributed and have significant impacts on host plant growth, development, and human health. Currently, research on these fungi and the diseases they cause remains limited and lacks comprehensive, systematic investigation. This review article summarizes classification methods of the Didymellaceae family, introduce the key members causing plant diseases. This article discusses genomics and key genes of the genus Stagonosporopsis, as well as important enzymes and metabolic substance associated with this genus. Building on the introduction of the host-pathogen interaction mechanisms, this article also reviews the detection of pathogens within the genus Stagonosporopsis, the epidemiology of crop diseases, and integrated disease management strategies, focusing on resistant cultivars, agronomic practices, and the screening and application of fungicides.
期刊介绍:
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology provides an International forum for original research papers, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of the molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, histology and cytology, genetics and evolution of plant-microbe interactions.
Papers on all kinds of infective pathogen, including viruses, prokaryotes, fungi, and nematodes, as well as mutualistic organisms such as Rhizobium and mycorrhyzal fungi, are acceptable as long as they have a bearing on the interaction between pathogen and plant.
