| niche sharing reflects a poorly understood biodiversity phenomenon. | eucalyptus spp. are susceptible to a large number of foliar pathogens, some of which can cause serious defoliation and die-back. in this study, a single leaf spot on a eucalyptus leaf collected in madagascar revealed an unusual association of microfungi with disease symptoms. initial observations indicated that the leaf spot was associated with mycosphaerella marksii, a common pathogen of eucalypts. however, more intensive scrutiny showed the presence of several other microfungi co-occurring in ... | 2009 | 20198141 |
| host specificity and speciation of mycosphaerella and teratosphaeria species associated with leaf spots of proteaceae. | species of mycosphaerella and teratosphaeria represent important foliicolous pathogens of proteaceae. presently approximately 40 members of these genera (incl. anamorphs) have been recorded from proteaceae, though the majority are not known from culture, and have never been subjected to dna sequence analysis. during the course of this study, epitypes were designated for several important species, namely batcheloromyces leucadendri, b. proteae, catenulostroma macowanii, mycosphaerella marksii, te ... | 2008 | 20467487 |
