Interactive effects between the invasive weed Stellera chamaejasme and grass: can arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and funga...
Published in Frontiers in Microbiology
The interaction between poisonous weeds and neighboring plants is complex. Poisonous weeds frequently have a competitive advantage in the interaction between poisonous weeds and neighboring plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant pathogenic fungi (PPF) are closely related to the interspecific relationships of plants. However, the role ...
Phytochemical Screening, Bioactive Compound Quantification by HPLC, and Antifungal Properties of Andrographis paniculata...
Published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
The common issues that occurred in plant disease had been studied for many years and fungi were determined as the major microbial agent that typically reduces the crop yield quality and economic losses. The increasing of antimicrobial resistance fungi and chemical fungicides has urged the development of new antifungal agents from medicinal plants s...
Evaluation of the Antifungal Activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and B. velezensis and Characterization of the Bioact...
Endophytic bacteria are plant-beneficial bacteria with a broad host range. They provide numerous benefits to their hosts, helping them tolerate several biotic and abiotic stresses. An interest has recently been developed in endophytic bacteria which are producing bioactive compounds that contribute to the biological control of various phytopathogen...
Characterization of Colletotrichum Isolates from Strawberry and Other Hosts with Reference to Cross-Inoculation Potentia...
Colletotrichum is an important phytopathogenic fungus that causes anthracnose disease in diverse agronomically important tropical food crops. Accurate pathogen identification is critical for early diagnosis and efficient management of anthracnose. ITS is not a reliable marker for this fungal genus due to its failure to phylogenetically resolve cryp...
A new family of structurally conserved fungal effectors displays epistatic interactions with plant resistance proteins
...
Published in PLoS Pathogens
An efficient strategy to control fungal diseases in the field is genetic control using resistant crop cultivars. Crop resistance mainly relies on gene-for-gene relationships between plant resistance ( R ) genes and pathogen avirulence ( AVR ) genes, as defined by Flor in the 1940s. However, such gene-for-gene relationships can increase in complexit...
Does Abiotic Host Stress Favour Dothideomycete-Induced Disease Development?
Dothideomycetes represent one of the largest and diverse class of fungi. This class exhibits a wide diversity of lifestyles, including endophytic, saprophytic, pathogenic and parasitic organisms. Plant pathogenic fungi are particularly common within the Dothideomycetes and are primarily found within the orders of Pleosporales, Botryosphaeriales and...
Identification of a New Antifungal Peptide W1 From a Marine Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Reveals Its Potential in Controll...
Published in Frontiers in Microbiology
A bacterium, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens W0101, isolated from the Arctic Ocean, showed potent antifungal activity against several plant pathogenic fungi. An antifungal peptide W1, with a molecular weight of approximately 2.4 kDa, was purified from the culture supernatant of the strain W0101 using ion-exchange chromatography and high-performance liqu...
RNA Modification and Its Implication in Plant Pathogenic Fungi
Published in The Plant Pathology Journal
Interaction of a pathogen with its host plant requires both flexibility and rapid shift in gene expression programs in response to environmental cues associated with host cells. Recently, a growing volume of data on the diversity and ubiquity of internal RNA modifications has led to the realization that such modifications are highly dynamic and yet...
Global Distribution and Richness of Armillaria and Related Species Inferred From Public Databases and Amplicon Sequencin...
Published in Frontiers in Microbiology
Armillaria is a globally distributed fungal genus most notably composed of economically important plant pathogens that are found predominantly in forest and agronomic systems. The genus sensu lato has more recently received attention for its role in woody plant decomposition and in mycorrhizal symbiosis with specific plants. Previous phylogenetic a...
