Elsinoe species: The rise of scab diseases

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 39-58, January 2025.
We critically evaluate research on the taxonomic status, phylogenetic relationships, host range, biology and epidemiology of Elsinoe causing scab diseases—a genus known for over 100 years but which remains poorly understood. Abstract The genus Elsinoe contains many aggressive pathogens of a wide range of plants, many of which are economically important.

Utility Potential of Parthenium hysterophorus for Its Strategic Management

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Parthenium hysterophorus, one of the world’s most dangerous weeds, is responsible for huge losses to the biodiversity, agriculture, economy, and health of livestock and human beings. High competitive success rate and adaptability of the species enable it to dominate diverse types of habitats.

Fungi beyond limits: The agricultural promise of extremophiles

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2024.
As the global climate evolves, understanding and harnessing the intricate mechanisms of fungal–plant interactions, especially in extreme environments, is paramount for developing effective and safe plant probiotics and using fungi as biocontrollers against phytopathogens.

Pectinolytic and Cellulolytic Enzymes Enhance Fusarium compactum Virulence on Tubercles Infection of Egyptian Broomrape

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
The use of enzyme could facilitate pathogen penetration into plant host. Here the combination of cellulase and pectinase was ascertained on the pathogenicity of F. compactum (1.4 × 106 propagules ml−1) on broomrape tubercles. F. compactum alone infected all the inoculated tubercles but did not kill any significant number.

Four pillars are required to support a successful biocontrol fungus

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 35-39, January 2024.
Four criteria (pillars) must be met to have a commercially viable biocontrol fungus: (i) enhanced virulence; (ii) inexpensive inocula; (iii) appropriate formulation; (iv) meet biosafety requirements. Abstract Despite biocontrol conceptually being a useful way to control specific pests, there are very few products that are used beyond the glasshouse ...

Exploiting exotic pathogens as mycoherbicides against invasive alien weeds: Japanese knotweed as a case study

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 87-91, January 2024.
The leaf‐spot fungus Mycosphaerella polygoni‐cuspidati, associated with Reynoutria japonica in Japan, is considered to have mycoherbicidal potential against the invasive weed in its introduced ranges. Here, we report on our proof‐of‐concept research undertaken with the pathogen and discuss the concept of using non‐indigenous pathogens as mycoherbicides

Anthracocystis panici-leucophaei: A Potential Biological Control Agent for the Grassy Weed Digitaria insularis

open access: yesAgronomy
Anthracocystis panici-leucophaei, causal agent of smut on Digitaria insularis (sourgrass), was evaluated as a biological control agent for this weed. Two types of inocula (teliospore and sporidia) were tested to assess its infectivity.
