Use of Colletotrichum graminicola KA001 to Control Barnyard Grass [PDF]
Isolates of Colletotrichum graminicola were obtained from barnyard grass showing anthracnose symptoms and the fungus was evaluated as a potential biocontrol agent. C. graminicola KA001 was highly pathogenic to two varieties of barnyard grass in a wide range of growth stages, with the most damage at the three- to four-leaf stages.

Size and complexity of the nuclear genome of Colletotrichum graminicola [PDF]
DNA reassociation was used to estimate GC content, size, and complexity of the nuclear genomes of Colletotrichum from maize and sorghum. Melting-temperature analysis indicated that the GC content of the maize pathotype DNA was 51% and that the GC content of the sorghum pathotype was 52%. DNA reassociation kinetics employing S1 nuclease digestion and an

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Ga and Gß Proteins Regulate the Cyclic AMP Pathway That Is Required for Development and Pathogenicity of the Phytopathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola [PDF]
We identified and functionally characterized genes encoding three G alpha proteins and one G beta protein in the dimorphic fungal wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola, which we designated MgGpa1, MgGpa2, MgGpa3, and MgGpb1, respectively.
