Decreased DMI sensitivity of Plenodomus biglobosus (phoma of oilseed rape) associated with CYP51 substitution G476S.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPhoma leaf spot/stem canker is an international oilseed rape (Brassica napus) disease caused by Plenodomus lingam (Pl) and Plenodomus biglobosus (Pb). Phoma management can include fungicide applications, often sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) inhibitors (DMIs). Pl and Pb isolates (collected throughout Poland in 2024) were screened for in vitro sensitivity to the DMI prothioconazole-desthio, and molecular mechanisms associated with altered sensitivity were investigated.
resultsPl isolates (2024) were less sensitive (4-fold) than older (before 2002) isolates. All Pl (2024) isolates carried CYP51 promoter inserts, likely a Sahana transposable element (TE) fragment, previously associated with CYP51 overexpression and decreased DMI sensitivity. In addition, Pb isolates with decreased DMI sensitivity were also identified, but without such TE inserts. CYP51 gene sequencing instead revealed substitution G476S that was absent in more-sensitive G476 isolates. G476S homologues have been linked to decreased DMI sensitivity in multiple other fungi. Pb G476S isolates were less sensitive (7.3-fold) than Pb G476, widespread throughout Poland, and comprised 14 of 24 (58%) Pb isolates tested. Although CYP51 promoter inserts were detected in 2 of 24 (8%) Pb isolates, these were promoter sequence duplications (not TEs) and not obviously associated with decreased sensitivity. Pl isolates carrying promoter inserts (predominant in recently tested European populations) were more sensitive (2.6-fold) than Pb G476S, but less sensitive (2.8-fold) than Pb G476.
conclusionWe provide first evidence for a CYP51 substitution associated with decreased DMI sensitivity in Pb. Result implications for phoma management, how DMI usage might influence pathogen population structure, resistance management strategies and future research required are discussed. © 2025 The Author(s).
