habitat and host indicate lineage identity in colletotrichum gloeosporioides s.l. from wild and agricultural landscapes in north america.	understanding the factors that drive the evolution of pathogenic fungi is central to revealing the mechanisms of virulence and host preference, as well as developing effective disease control measures. prerequisite to these pursuits is the accurate delimitation of species boundaries. colletotrichum gloeosporioides s.l. is a species complex of plant pathogens and endophytic fungi for which reliable species recognition has only recently become possible through a multi-locus phylogenetic approach. ...	2013	23671594
differential activation of ammonium transporters during the accumulation of ammonia by colletotrichum gloeosporioides and its effect on appressoria formation and pathogenicity.	ammonium secreted by the post-harvest pathogen colletotrichum gloeosporioides during host colonization accumulates in the host environment due to enhanced fungal nitrogen metabolism. two types of ammonium transporter-encoding genes, amet and mep, are expressed during pathogenicity. gene disruption of amet, a gene modulating ammonia secretion, showed twofold reduced ammonia secretion and 45% less colonization on avocado fruit, suggesting a contribution to pathogenicity. mepb, a gene modulating am ...	2013	23387470
