Loss of Pathogenicity and Evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides From a Medicinal Plant. [PDF]
A Colletotrichum gloeosporioides strain from Huperzia serrata lacks key pathogenicity genes CgDN3 and cap20 and has fewer pelB, pnl and pg genes. pksIII, for synthesis of huperzine A, was probably acquired by the host plant from the fungus. ABSTRACT Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a major agricultural pathogen of crops that has also been identified ...

Introducing ground cover management in pesticide emission modeling
Abstract Ground cover management (GCM) is an important agricultural practice used to reduce weed growth, erosion and runoff, and improve soil fertility. In the present study, an approach to account for GCM is proposed in the modeling of pesticide emissions to evaluate the environmental sustainability of agricultural practices.
