Pseudocospeciation of the mycoparasite Cosmospora with their fungal hosts [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
AbstractSpecies of Cosmospora are parasites of other fungi (mycoparasites), including species belonging to the Xylariales. Based on prior taxonomic work, these fungi were determined to be highly host specific. We suspected that the association of Cosmospora and their hosts could not be a result of random chance, and tested the cospeciation of ...

In vitro antagonistic activity of Trichoderma spp. against fungal pathogens causing black point disease of wheat

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2022
Black point disease of wheat contributes to high economic losses every year. The overuse of fungicides resulted in pathogenic fungal resistance, health and environmental hazards that necessitate the formulation of safe biocontrol agents.

Beech decline reshapes fine root traits, microbial composition and soil carbon–nutrient cycling

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study highlights the critical role of rhizosphere interactions in nutrient cycling and tree health. It was found that tree decline triggers cascading effects that influence fine root, microbial communities and soil enzyme activities in the rhizosphere.

Production of macrosphelide A by the mycoparasiteConiothyrium minitans [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003
Coniothyrium minitans, a mycoparasite of sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Sclerotium cepivorum, produced four closely related metabolites inhibitory to fungal growth. The major metabolite, identified as macrosphelide A, had IG(50) values (the concentration of metabolite to inhibit growth by 50%) of 46.6 and 2.9 microgram ml(-1) against S ...

Leveraging Microbe–Rhizosphere Interactions in Organic Farming Systems: A Route to Sustainable Soybean Production

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a major legume crop of global agricultural significance, and its yield is heavily dependent on the rhizospheric microbes. Conventional farming systems can enhance yields in the short term but often at the expense of soil health and biodiversity. Organic farming systems, by contrast, avoid the use of synthetic inputs

Vegetal residue‐based formulation of Trichoderma ossianense, a new indigenous vineyard species adapted to alkaline pH with potential biocontrol ability against Black‐foot disease pathogens

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2910-2924, April 2026.
The study identifies Trichoderma ossianense, was can be isolated from grapevine roots, is capable of growing at alkaline pH and controls black‐foot pathogens, highlighting the vegetal residue‐based formulations that preserve its viability. Abstract BACKGROUND Fungi of the Trichoderma genus are used in vineyards as biological control agents mainly ...
