Inhibition of early development stages of rusts and powdery mildew by fungal and plant metabolites

Trabajo presentado en el 15th Congress of the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union (Plant health sistaining Mediterranean ecosystems), celebrado en Córdoba (España) del 20 al 23 de junio de 2017.Foliar diseases caused by biotrophic pathogens, such as rusts and powdery mildews, are major limiting factors in legume and cereal production worldwide. Crop protection is largely based on chemical control, although there is renewed interest in the discovery of natural products as alternatives to synthetic fungicides.This research was supported by FP7-ARIMNet-MEDILEG and AGL2014-52871 projects and Programme STAR (A.C.) financially supported by UniNa and Compagnia di San Paolo, Italia.Peer reviewe
