Complexity in climate-change impacts: an analytical framework for effects mediated by plant disease (2011, background): “For example, in wheat-based systems (providing the food base of nearly a billion people in South Asia), the expansion of conservation agriculture is expected to increase the incidence and severity of stubble-borne diseases such as tan spot and septoria leaf blotches (Savary et al., 1997; Duveiller e”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “An increase in temperature can create a negative interactive effect by lowering resistance to bacterial, viral, fungal, and nematode pathogens: in wheat, higher mean temperatures observed over a 6 year experimental period correlated with heightened susceptibility to the fungus Cochliobolus sativus (”
Satellite detection of earlier wheat sowing in India and implications for yield trends (2013, background): “Many factors have been cited as explanations for the slowdown in yield growth, including declining soil potassium (Ladha et al., 2003), increased temperatures (Pathak et al., 2003), and increased disease pressures (Sharma et al., 2007).”
Wheat genetic resources enhancement by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) (2008, background): “Recent data compiled in the eastern Gangetic plains over 6 years have shown that the higher average temperature observed, especially during the night, was related to higher spot blotch severity and partly explained lower yield performances (Sharma et al. 2007).”
Climate change and diseases of food crops (2011, background): “Among other necrotrophic pathogens, severity of spot blotch caused by Cochliobolus sativus has increased in South Asia with higher average night-time temperatures (Sharma et al., 2007).”
