Dimorphism in Fungal Pathogens of Mammals, Plants, and Insects
The capacity for pathogenic fungi to change morphology during their lifecycle is widespread. However, relatively few fungi are considered dimorphic, which refers to the ability to switch between two morphologies, yeast and hyphae (Table 1). These pathogens can be roughly subdivided into thermal (morphologic switch induced by temperature) and non-thermal dimorphic fungi (Table 1). Worldwide, the...
متن کاملFungal Pathogens of Insects: Cuticle Degrading Enzymes and Toxins
Pathogenic fungi are important natural regulators of insect populations. However, many attempts to harness their potential for pest control have met with comparatively minor commercial success. Studies on mechanisms of pathogenesis have yet to contribute to the development of more efficient mycoinsecticides, but new insights into the pathogenic process are laying the groundwork. Significant pro...
متن کاملBiocontrol Activities of Gamma Induced Mutants of Trichoderma harzianum against some Soilborne Fungal Pathogens and their DNA Fingerprinting
Background: Random induced mutation by gamma radiation is one of the genetic manipulation strategies to improve the antagonistic ability of biocontrol agents. Objectives: This study aimed to induce mutants with more sporulation, colonization rate leading to enhanced antagonistic ability (in vitro assay) comparing to wild type (WT) and the assessment of genetic differences (in situ evaluat...
متن کاملBiocontrol strategy, Compost, Soil-borne pathogens management
The effect of different compost-soil ratios on the incidence of Pythium aphanidermatum causing tomato damping off was tested in a greenhouse experiment. The inoculum density of 5% was determined to be suitable for inoculation in compost experiments based on investigations of disease incidence with 5, 10 and 20% inoculum densities. To evaluate the effect of compost on incidence of tomato damping...
متن کاملRole of phenolics in the resistance mechanisms of plants against fungal pathogens and insects
Plant phenolics are secondary metabolites that encompass several classes structurally diverse of natural products biogenetically arising from the shikimate-phenylpropanoids-flavonoids pathways. Plants need phenolic compounds for pigmentation, growth, reproduction, resistance to pathogens and for many other functions. Therefore, they represent adaptive characters that have been subjected to natu...
