Mildew-Omics: How Global Analyses Aid the Understanding of Life and Evolution of Powdery Mildews [PDF]
The common powdery mildew plant diseases are caused by ascomycete fungi of the order Erysiphales. Their characteristic life style as obligate biotrophs renders functional analyses in these species challenging, mainly because of experimental constraints ...

Australia: A Continent Without Native Powdery Mildews? The First Comprehensive Catalog Indicates Recent Introductions and Multiple Host Range Expansion Events, and Leads to the Re-discovery of Salmonomyces as a New Lineage of the Erysiphales [PDF]
In contrast to Eurasia and North America, powdery mildews (Ascomycota, Erysiphales) are understudied in Australia. There are over 900 species known globally, with fewer than currently 60 recorded from Australia.

Multi-locus phylogenetic network analysis of Ampelomyces mycoparasites isolated from diverse powdery mildews in Australia and the generation of two de novo genome assemblies. [PDF]
The interactions between powdery mildews (Ascomycota, Erysiphaceae), obligate biotrophic pathogens of many plants, and pycnidial fungi belonging to the genus Ampelomyces, are classic examples of specific mycoparasitic relationships.

More Than Just Plants: Botanical Gardens Are an Untapped Source of Fungal Diversity
Botanical gardens have extensive spatial databases of their plant specimens; however, the fungi occurring in them are generally unstudied. Botanical gardens, with their great plant diversity, undoubtedly harbor a wide range of symbiotic fungi, including ...
