A survey of the endophytic fungi in fronds of Livistona chinensis was carried out in Hong
Kong. The endophyte assemblages identified using morphological characters consisted of …

Detection and diagnosis of plant viruses has included serological laboratory tests since the
1960s. Relatively little work was done on serological detection of plant pathogenic bacteria …

Phylogenetic relationships among 50 Phytophthora species and between Phytophthora and
other oomycetes were examined on the basis of the ITS sequences of genomic rDNA …

Butyrate is a preferred energy source for colonic epithelial cells and is thought to play an
important role in maintaining colonic health in humans. In order to investigate the diversity …

Fungal endophytes are ubiquitous fungi that inhabit healthy plant tissues without causing
disease. Endophytes have been found in every plant species examined to date and may be …

Phylogenetic relationships within the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex were extended to
newly discovered strains using nucleotide characters obtained by sequencing polymerase …

Two PCR primer pairs were designed to amplify rRNA genes (rDNA) from all four major
phyla of fungi: Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridomycota, and Zygomycota. PCRs …

Four different primer pairs were designed for the preferential PCR amplification of fungal
SSU rDNA directly from environmental samples. Most of the amplification products obtained …

Phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of the phytopathogenic Nectria haematococca-
Fusarium solani species complex, section Martiella of Fusarium, were inferred from …

Aspergillus species are the most frequent cause of invasive mold infections in
immunocompromised patients. Although over 180 species are found within the genus, 3 …
