The study aims to characterize the yeast community associated with winter wheat leaves and assess its sensitivity to fungicides.
Identified 34 yeast species from 454 isolates
Analyzed temporal variation of yeast abundance during the vegetation period
Conducted fungicide sensitivity profiling of non-target yeasts and the pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici.
98% of identified yeasts belonged to the phylum Basidiomycota
Sporobolomyces roseus was the dominant species
Non-target yeasts showed higher sensitivity to commonly used fungicides than Zymoseptoria tritici
Fenpicoxamid exhibited the lowest off-target effect while remaining effective against Z. tritici.
