In this study, in an effort to develop a method for the molecular detection of Tricholoma matsutake in Korea from other closely related Tricholomataceae, a species-specific PCR primer pair, TmF and TmR, was designed using nuclear ribosomal intertranscribed spacer (ITS) sequences. The DTmF and DTmR sequences were 5'-CCTGACGCCAATCTTTTCA-3' and 5'-GGAGAGCAGACTTGTGAGCA-3', respectively. The PCR pri...

From fruit bodies of the basidiomycete Hygrophorus eburneus (Bull.: Fr.) Fr. (Tricholomataceae) eight fatty acids (C16, C18) with γ-oxocrotonate partial structure could be isolated. Initial tests demonstrate their bactericidal and fungicidal activity. The structures of (2E,9E)-4-oxooctadeca2,9,17-trienoic acid (1), (2E,11Z)-4-oxooctadeca-2,11,17-trienoic acid (2), (E)-4-oxohexadeca-2,15dienoic ...

In order to increase the efficiency of cacao tree resistance to witches' broom disease, which is caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa (Tricholomataceae), we looked for molecular markers that could help in the selection of resistant cacao genotypes. Among the different markers useful for developing marker-assisted selection, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) constitute the most common type o...
