Entomopathogenic Fungi: Fungi Imperfecti

1998
The phylum Deuteromycota (Fungi Imperfecti, Table 8-1) includes a group of miscellaneous fungi that are classified according to characteristics of an asexual (anamorphic) rather than a sexual (teleomorphic) state. As mentioned previously (Table 8-3), some Deuteromycetes are anamorphs of Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes, all of which are classed as the ...

Speciation in fungi

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2008
In this review on fungal speciation, we first contrast the issues of species definition and species criteria and show that by distinguishing the two concepts the approaches to studying the speciation can be clarified. We then review recent developments in the understanding of modes of speciation in fungi.

Friends in Fungi

Science, 2012
![Figure][1] Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.CREDIT: JAN JANSA Although fungi are a greater threat to crops and forests than ever before (“Attack of the clones,” K. Kupferschmidt, News Focus, 10 August, p. [636][2]), we should not expel them completely.

Focus on fungi

Cell
Fungi play critical roles in the homeostasis of ecosystems globally and have emerged as significant causes of an expanding repertoire of devastating diseases in plants, animals, and humans. In this Commentary, we highlight the importance of fungal pathogens and argue for concerted research efforts to enhance understanding of fungal virulence ...

Toxic Fungi

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1979
Much progress in the areas of identification of active components and elucidation of the toxic mechanisms for the principal poisonous mushrooms has been made in the past decade. This affords a more rational approach to therapeutic management which has consequently resulted in a decrease in the morbidity and mortality associated with these species ...

Centrochromatin of Fungi

2017
The centromere is an essential chromosomal locus that dictates the nucleation point for assembly of the kinetochore and subsequent attachment of spindle microtubules during chromosome segregation. Research over the last decades demonstrated that centromeres are defined by a combination of genetic and epigenetic factors.

Fungi on the March

Scientific American, 2013
The article discusses the health risk posed to animals and humans by the fungus Cryptococcus gattii as of December 2013. Background is presented on the outbreak involving the fungus on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in 2001. It discusses the ability of the human immune system to neutralize most fungal attacks. The author says that the Cryptococcus

GENETICS OF THE FUNGI

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1948
Genetics of the fungi takes its origin from the discovery by Blakeslee ( 1) that copulation between two thalli of opposite mating types precedes the formation of zygospores in Rhizopus. It is pref­ erable to call this a mating type difference, instead of a sexual difference, for later work on the Basidiomycetes revealed that two pairs instead of a ...

Gut fungi

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988
Herbivores consume large quantities of cellulose and other plant cell wall (fibre) carbohydrates yet generally lack the enzymes to digest them. This has led to the evolution of specialized portions of the gut, such as the rumen and caecum, which contain large populations of digestive anaerobic microorganisms.
