1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

As the incidence of fungicide resistance in plant pathogens continues to increase, control of diseases and the management of resistance would be greatly aided by rapid diagnostic methods. Quantitative allele-specific PCR (ASqPCR) is an ideal technique for the in-field analysis of fungicide resistance as it can quantify the frequency of mutations in fungicide targets. We have applied this technique to the fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), the causal agent of wheat powdery mildew. In Australia, strobilurin-resistant Bgt was first discovered in 2016. Molecular analysis revealed a nucleotide transversion in the cytochrome b (cytb) gene in the cytochrome bc1 enzyme complex, resulting in a substitution of alanine for glycine at position 143 (G143A). We have developed an in-field ASqPCR assay that can quantify both the resistant (A143) and sensitive (G143) cytb alleles down to 1.67% in host and Bgt DNA mixtures, within 90 min of sample collection. The in situ analysis of samples collected during a survey in Tasmania revealed A143 frequencies ranging between 9-100%. Validation of the analysis with a newly developed laboratory based digital PCR assay found no significant differences between the two methods. We have successfully developed an in-field quantification method, for a strobilurin-resistant allele, by pairing the ASqPCR assay on a lightweight qPCR instrument with a quick DNA extraction method. The deployment of these type of methodologies in the field can contribute to the effective in-season management of fungicide resistance.
