| antifungal activity of stilbenes in in vitro bioassays and in transgenic populus expressing a gene encoding pinosylvin synthase. | the effect of two stilbene compounds, pinosylvin and resveratrol, on the growth of several fungi was evaluated in plate tests. wood decay tests were carried out with birch and aspen samples impregnated with the two stilbenes. in plate experiments, resveratrol had an enhancing effect on growth at concentrations where pinosylvin was already enough to prevent the growth of most fungi studied. pinosylvin impregnated at 0.2% (w/w) concentration significantly reduced the decay caused by all fungi exce ... | 2004 | 14714142 |
| species recognition, geographic distribution and host-pathogen relationships: a case study in a group of lignicolous basidiomycetes, phellinus s.l. | morphological, phylogenetic (sequencing of the ribosomal its region) and, if applicable, biological (pairings of single-spore testers) species recognition have been used to resolve relationships among 69 collections belonging to the hymenochaetales genera phellinus s.str. and fomitiporia. the isolates originate from a variety of host plants in europe, north america and asia. separate application of recognition modes led to differing results concerning the number of species, geographic distributi ... | 2004 | 21148900 |
