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

Transcriptome sequence resource for the cucurbit powdery mildew pathogen Podosphaera xanthii [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2019 AbstractPodosphaera xanthiiis the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew in Southern Italy. Illumina sequencing of mRNA from twoP. xanthiiisolates of opposite mating types (MAT1-1andMAT1-2) and their sexual cross was used to obtain a detailedde novoTrinity-based assembly of the transcriptome of the fungus.

Why is biocontrol of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), the most allergenic weed in Eastern Europe, still only a hope? [PDF]
, 2007 This chapter presents the story of a long and as yet unsuccessful struggle to find suitable fungal and/or insect biocontrol agents for ragweed, a plant that became a widespread allergenic weed in Eastern Europe.
