We describe the first identification of Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi causing brown rot on chestnut fruits in Chile, with an incidence of 4.8%. Previously, Phomopsis castanea (IMI 278057) was reported as the cause of the disease in Chile, but a molecular re-identification revealed that it corresponded...

This article presents three studies on three ecological guilds of fungi - arbuscular mycorrhizas, plant pathogens, and saprotrophs, and the degree of co-specialisation among niche dimensions such as specialists and generalists, and knowing the shape of ecological niche. These three studies in...

This chapter discusses the benefits and risks of applying living organisms (e.g. arthropods, bacteria, fungi) or viruses to control arthropod pests, weeds and plant diseases. As for other pest control measures, the benefits that can be created by biological control should be weighed against...

Eggplant brown leaf spot caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 was first found in Japan in 1976, but its subgroup remained undetermined for over 40 years. We conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis using three loci (rDNA-ITS, rDNA-IGS1, and tef-1α) of two Iwate isolates, newly obtained in this...

We conducted a comprehensive review of the research literature on interactions between invasive species and species included in the critically endangered category of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. This review reveals that, globally, invasive species threaten 14% ...

There are fundamental differences between the current levels of genomic and proteomic knowledge for bacteria and fungi. With multiple growth forms and over 100,000 known species, the fungi probably present a more complex situation, but genomic studies are hindered by the lack of reliable reference...

It is critical that storage of the living reference strains, on which the names and properties are based and the DNA sequenced to assign a name (the reference genetic resources), are preserved optimally to retain stability. The fact that less than 1% of microbial diversity can be grown sets...
