| rhythmic conidiation in the blue-light fungus trichoderma pleuroticola. | trichoderma species conidiate in response to blue light, however, unlike in the blue-light model fungus neurospora crassa, conidiation in trichoderma spp. has been considered to be non-circadian. in this study we uncovered evidence for circadian conidiation in trichoderma pleuroticola and identified orthologues of the key n. crassa clock components, wc-1 (blr-1) and frq. | 2010 | 20943132 |
| ambient ph intrinsically influences trichoderma conidiation and colony morphology. | conidiation in trichoderma has been demonstrated to be favoured by a low ambient ph and more recently pacc (pac1) mediated ph-regulation has been implicated in the control of conidiation. in this study, ambient ph effects on conidiation were investigated in three isolates (trichoderma hamatum, trichoderma atroviride and trichoderma pleuroticola) exposed to a single blue-light burst or to mycelial injury. disks of conidiation were observed for t. atroviride in response to a single light exposure, ... | 2010 | 20943130 |
| molecular identification of trichoderma species associated with pleurotus ostreatus and natural substrates of the oyster mushroom. | green mold of pleurotus ostreatus, caused by trichoderma species, has recently resulted in crop losses worldwide. therefore, there is an emerging need for rapid means of diagnosing the causal agents. a pcr assay was developed for rapid detection of trichoderma pleurotum and trichoderma pleuroticola, the two pathogens causing green mold of p. ostreatus. three oligonucleotide primers were designed for identifying these species in a multiplex pcr assay based on dna sequences within the fourth and f ... | 2009 | 19735461 |
| genetically closely related but phenotypically divergent trichoderma species cause green mold disease in oyster mushroom farms worldwide. | the worldwide commercial production of the oyster mushroom pleurotus ostreatus is currently threatened by massive attacks of green mold disease. using an integrated approach to species recognition comprising analyses of morphological and physiological characters and application of the genealogical concordance of multiple phylogenetic markers (internal transcribed spacer 1 [its1] and its2 sequences; partial sequences of tef1 and chi18-5), we determined that the causal agents of this disease were ... | 2007 | 17827333 |
