Exploiting Paraphaeosphaeria minitans and Its Antifungal Metabolites as Bio-Fungicides for Eco-Friendly Management of Head Rot Disease in Cabbage. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Biocontrol of Cabbage Head Rot: Paraphaeosphaeria minitans produces antifungal metabolites, disrupts sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and reduces disease incidence in cabbage under field conditions. ABSTRACT Cabbage head rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, threatens crop yield and quality.

Effects of Culture Aeration and the C:N Ratio on Propagule Production by Submerged Cultivation of Clonostachys rosea and Its Antifungal Metabolite Profiling. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Optimized submerged fermentation of Clonostachys rosea under high aeration enhances production of submerged conidia and microsclerotia. Formulated propagules and antifungal metabolites, including sorbicillinoids, effectively control tomato gray mold, offering a promising strategy for biocontrol product development.

Ultrastructural Examination of the Fungus-To-Fungus Interactions of <i>Lecanicillium uredinophilum</i> and <i>Phakopsora pachyrhizi</i>. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
Lecanicillium uredinophilum colonizes and penetrates the soybean rust pathogen (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) urediniospores using them as a nutritional substrate through mycoparasitism. ABSTRACT Asian soybean rust (ASR) is caused by the biotrophic fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. & P.

Population Genomics of a Rare and a Common Wood-Inhabiting Fungal Species Across Europe. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Many species have become threatened during the Anthropocene, requiring conservation strategies based on biological evidence. Wood‐inhabiting fungi face multiple threats due to a complex interplay of a short lifespan, removal of dead wood as a resource and climate change.

Canopy Height and Epiphytic Bryophytes Shape Fungal Communities in a Temperate Rainforest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present the first investigation into epiphytic bryophyte‐associated microbes in a temperate ecosystem. Our field study reveals taxonomic and functional differences between ground‐ and canopy‐associated fungi. Host plant specificity and bryophyte senescence drive fungal diversity and community composition, indicating strong biotic drivers for fungal ...

Molecular Strategies to Overcome Fungal Virulence in Crop Protection. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Emerging biotechnological strategies to weaken the infective capacity of fungal pathogens without sole reliance on chemical agents. On the left, gene silencing via RNA interference (RNAi) targeting key developmental genes (such as MET6 and MsrA) leads to aberrant hyphal growth.

Disease management in two sympatric Apterostigma fungus‐growing ants for controlling the parasitic fungus Escovopsis

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Antagonistic interactions between host and parasites are often embedded in networks of interacting species, in which hosts may be attacked by competing parasites species, and parasites may infect more than one host species.

Differential Expression of Cell Wall Remodeling Genes Is Part of the Dynamic Phase-Specific Transcriptional Program of Conidial Germination of Trichoderma asperelloides

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The nature of saprophytic and mycoparasitic hyphal growth of Trichoderma spp. has been studied extensively, yet its initiation via conidial germination in this genus is less well understood.
