Species diversity and major host/substrate associations of the genus (Hypocreales, Cordycipitaceae).

, a group of fungi with rich morphological and ecological diversity in Cordycipitaceae (Ascomycota, Hypocreales), has a wide distribution amongst diverse habitats. By surveying arthropod-pathogenic fungi in China and Southeast Asia over the last six years, nine spp. were found and identified.

Histopathology and quantification of green fluorescent protein-tagged f. sp. isolate in resistant and susceptible germplasm.

f. sp. (Folu) is a severe plant pathogen that causes vascular wilt and root rot in plants worldwide.

Phylogeny and species delimitations in the economically, medically, and ecologically important genus (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales).

is a ubiquitous genus of cosmopolitan arthropod-pathogenic fungi in the family Cordycipitaceae. The fungi have economic, medicinal, and ecological importance. Prior taxonomic studies of these fungi relied predominantly on phylogenetic inferences from five loci, namely, the nuclear ribosomal small and large subunits (nr SSU and nr LSU), the 3' portion of translation elongation factor 1 alpha (3P_), and RNA polymerase II subunits 1 and 2 ( and ).

Phylogeny and systematics of the genus .

Introduction: , a genus with rich morphological and ecological diversity in Bionectriaceae, has a wide distribution among diverse habitats.

Methods And Results: In the present study, a phylogenetic framework is reconstructed for the family Bionectriaceae focusing on through increased taxon-sampling using the nr sequence. Through surveying in China, Vietnam, and Thailand over the past 3 years, seven spp.

Sensitivity of species complex (CGSC) isolated from strawberry in Taiwan to benzimidazole and strobilurin.

species complex (CGSC) is the major pathogen causing strawberry anthracnose in Taiwan. Benzimidazoles and strobilurins are common fungicides used to control strawberry anthracnose. A total of 108 CGSC isolates were collected from five major strawberry-producing areas in Taiwan.

Colonization of human opportunistic Fusarium oxysporum (HOFo) isolates in tomato and cucumber tissues assessed by a specific molecular marker.

Fusarium oxysporum is a large complex cosmopolitan species composed of plant pathogens, human opportunistic pathogens, and nonpathogenic isolates. Many plant pathogenic strains are known based on host plant specificity and the large number of plant species attacked. F.
