Grapevine trunk diseases (GTD) have a variety of symptoms and causes. The latter include fungal species from the family Diaporthaceae. The aim of our study was to determine Diaporthaceae species present in the woody parts of grapevines sampled from 12 vine-growing coastal and continental areas of Croatia. The fungi were isolated from diseased wood, and cultures analysed for phenotype (morpholog...

In this research, we aimed to isolate and identify native strains of Trichoderma spp. with potential activity against avocado pathogens (Neofusicoccum parvum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Diaporthe sp., Phomopsis perseae). Strains were isolated from roots soil obtained orchards different regions Mexico. Twenty-five isolated, which six (TSMICH7, TSMICH8, TRMICH9, TSMICH10, TSMICH15, TRJAL25) ...

Cây trà hoa vàng thuộc chi Camellia chứa nhiều hợp chất quan trọng cho sức khoẻ con người. Tuy nhiên, sự sinh trưởng, phát triển của cây chịu ảnh hưởng bởi bệnh hại.

The role of endophytic fungi isolated from different populations European Ni hyperaccumulators was investigated in regard to the microorganisms' ability enhance hyperaccumulation Noccaea caerulescens. Effects particular species on adaptation N. caerulescens excess were tested by co-cultivation with single strains fungi. Seven these had a positive effect plant biomass production, whereas two inh...

We report a case of scleral keratitis caused by Phomopsis phoenicicola. Pterygium surgery was a predisposing factor, and the patient was treated with natamycin and fluconazole eye drops and oral fluconazole. The fungus was identified by sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the fungal ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locus and confirmed on the basis of its typical pycnidia and conidia.

We describe the first identification of Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi causing brown rot on chestnut fruits in Chile, with an incidence 4.8%. Previously, Phomopsis castanea (IMI 278057) was reported as cause disease but a molecular re-identification revealed that it corresponded to G. smithogilvyi. All inoculated isolate RGM 2903 developed symptoms fruits.
