The biocontrol agent Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae - Monitoring its environmental fate and impact on indigenous fungal communities in the rhizosphere of maize [PDF]
, 2016 The fungal biocontrol agent (BCA) Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Fos) has proven to be effective in the suppression of the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica, which causes substantial yield losses in cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa. A prerequisite for widespread implementation of the biocontrol technology is the official registration of the BCA Fos by

Botanical microbiomes on the cheap: Inexpensive molecular fingerprinting methods to study plant-associated communities of bacteria and fungi. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2020 High‐throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the study of plant‐associated microbial populations, but they are relatively expensive. Molecular fingerprinting techniques are more affordable, yet yield considerably less information about the microbial community. Does this mean they are no longer useful for plant microbiome research?
