| draft genome sequence of colletotrichum acutatum sensu lato (colletotrichum fioriniae). | in addition to its economic impact, colletotrichum acutatum sensu lato is an interesting model for molecular investigations due to the diversity of host-determined specialization and reproductive lifestyles within the species complex. the pathogen colletotrichum fioriniae forms part of this species complex and causes anthracnose in a wide range of crops and wild plants worldwide. some members of this species have also been reported to be entomopathogenic. here, we report the draft genome sequenc ... | 2014 | 24723700 |
| first report of anthracnose caused by colletotrichum fioriniae on chinese matrimony vine in korea. | a fungus, colletotrichum fioriniae, was isolated for the first time from fruits of chinese matrimony vine (lycium chinense mill.) in korea. it was classified as c. fioriniae based on the morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase and β-tubulin. to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of c. fioriniae causing anthracnose of chinese matrimony vine in korea. | 2016 | 28154492 |
| lutein, a natural carotenoid, induces α-1,3-glucan accumulation on the cell wall surface of fungal plant pathogens. | α-1,3-glucan, a component of the fungal cell wall, is a refractory polysaccharide for most plants. previously, we showed that various fungal plant pathogens masked their cell wall surfaces with α-1,3-glucan to evade plant immunity. this surface accumulation of α-1,3-glucan was infection specific, suggesting that plant factors might induce its production in fungi. through immunofluorescence observations of fungal cell walls, we found that carrot (daucus carota) extract induced the accumulation of ... | 2016 | 27483218 |
| production of trichothecenes by the apple sooty blotch fungus microcyclospora tardicrescens. | the sooty blotch and flyspeck (sbfs) syndrome of apples and other fruits is caused by a complex consortium of epiphytic fungi that colonize the fruit cuticula. sbfs fungal strains isolated from apples were screened for growth inhibition of the phytopathogen colletotrichum fioriniae in dual culture tests. extracts of 11 isolates of sbfs fungi (microcyclospora malicola, microcyclospora pomicola, microcyclospora tardicrescens, and microcyclosporella mali) inhibited growth of the test strains and we ... | 2014 | 24697667 |
| entomopathogenic fungi associated with exotic invasive insect pests in northeastern forests of the usa. | mycopathogens of economically important exotic invasive insects in forests of northeastern usa have been the subject of research at the entomology research laboratory, university of vermont, for the last 20 years. elongate hemlock scale, european fruit lecanium, hemlock woolly adelgid and pear thrips were analyzed for the presence of mycopathogens, in order to consider the potential for managing these pests with biological control. fungal cultures isolated from insects with signs of fungal infec ... | 2013 | 26462527 |
| production of obionin a and derivatives by the sooty blotch fungus microcyclospora malicola. | a multitude of sooty blotch and flyspeck fungi, mainly belonging to the ascomycetes order capnodiales, causes dark blemishes and flyspeck-like spots on apples worldwide. different sooty blotch and flyspeck fungi can coexist in the same orchard and even on a single fruit. our preceding experiments revealed an activity of microcyclospora malicola strain 1930 against the anthracnose fungus colletotrichum fioriniae in dual culture assays. extracts of m. malicola strain 1930 showed a broad bioactivit ... | 2015 | 25856439 |
| colletotrichum acutatum var. fioriniae (teleomorph: glomerella acutata var. fioriniae var. nov.) infection of a scale insect. | an epizootic has been reported in fiorinia externa populations in new york, connecticut, pennsylvania and newjersey. infected insects have profuse sclerotial masses enclosing their bodies. the most commonly isolated microorganism from infected f. externa was colletotrichum sp. a morphological and molecular characterization of this fungus indicated that it is closely related to phytopathogenic c. acutatum isolates. isolates of colletotrichum sp. from f. externa in areas of the epizootic were simi ... | 2008 | 18751543 |
