Susceptibility of Spodoptera frugiperda to Commercial Entomopathogenic Fungi Formulations in South Africa [PDF]
InsectsChemical control using synthetic insecticides is the most widely used method for controlling the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the application of insecticides is not

Beyond Biocontrol: Species-Dependent Growth Promotion of Forage Grasses by Metarhizium anisopliae Isolates. [PDF]
J Basic MicrobiolABSTRACT Research on the interaction between entomopathogenic fungi used in biological control programs and forage grass species remains limited. This study evaluated the effects of inoculating seedlings of the forage grass species Axonopus catharinensis cv. SCS315 Catarina Gigante, Hemarthria altissima cv. Florida, and Cynodon dactylon cv.

Development of a PCR-based mating-type assay for Clavicipitaceae [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2004 This study developed a PCR-based mating-type assay for Clavicipitaceae. PCR primer sets for the mating-type genes MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 were designed based on the amino acid sequences of the conserved alpha and HMG boxes, respectively. The PCR-based mating-type assay could be applied for various clavicipitaceous genera (Balansia, Claviceps, Cordyceps ...

Independent origins of plant parasitism in <i>Clavicipitaceae</i>: phylogeny, divergence, and taxonomic revision. [PDF]
MycoscienceThe family Clavicipitaceae (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) includes a wide range of fungal lifestyles and ecological interactions, but the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary origins of its plant-parasitic taxa have remained controversial. To establish a robust, phylogenetically consistent classification, molecular phylogenetic, fossil-calibrated ...

Primers to amplify SNP markers in Epichloë canadensis (Clavicipitaceae) [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2016 Premise of the study:Primers were designed to produce short amplicons containing single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in β‐tubulin (tubB) and translation elongation factor 1‐α (tefA) in Epichloë canadensis (Clavicipitaceae), an endophytic fungus of Elymus canadensis (Poaceae).Methods and Results:Primers to amplify regions of tubB and tefA containing ...
