Stagonospora nodorum is a fungus that causes leaf and glume blotch disease on wheat. This disease alone causes $55 million dollars in yield losses per annum. Traditional breeding methods have yielded crops that are only mildly resistant leaving control of the disease to be worryingly reliant on fungicides. This project aims to identify and characterise proteins that the fungus secretes to cause disease on wheat. By identifying these proteins, it is anticipated that strategies, both traditional and modern, could be employed to enable better control of the disease. This in turn would help provide a long term and secure supply of wheat and wheat based products to the community.

Stagonospora Nodorum是一种真菌，可引起小麦上的叶子和胶水斑点疾病。仅这种疾病就会导致每年5500万美元的收益率损失。传统的繁殖方法产生的农作物仅具有轻度耐药性，使对疾病的控制依赖于杀菌剂。该项目旨在识别和表征真菌分泌小麦疾病的蛋白质。通过识别这些蛋白质，可以预料，可以采用传统和现代的策略来更好地控制该疾病。反过来，这将有助于为社区提供长期和安全的基于小麦的产品。
