The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Mycopesticides are living preparations that use fungal cells, such as spores and hyphae, as
active ingredients. They mainly include mycoinsecticides, mycofungicides, mycoherbicides …

This review paper highlights the significant research conducted on fungi belonging to the
genus Ampelomyces. Phylogeny based on both ITS and actin sequences has grouped …

Identifying a superior bio-control strain is the first step in developing a successful bio-control
strategy for any disease. Field trials were conducted to systematically screen six potential …

Pathogens are embedded in multi‐trophic food webs, which often include co‐occurring
cryptic species within the same pathogen complex. Nonetheless, we still lack an …

A total of 26 Ampelomyces strains were isolated from mycelia of six different powdery
mildew species that naturally infected their host plants in Japan. These were characterized …

Thirty four Trichoderma isolates were systematically screened for induction of systemic
resistance in grapevines against powdery mildew disease. Trichoderma 5R, NAIMCC-F …

The current strategies for the control of Agrobacterium vitis crown gall in grape are generally
unsuccessful once the pathogen has established in vineyards. Experimental trials were …

Plant resistance inducers (PRIs) are of increasing interest for disease control in sustainable
viticulture, but their efficacy in vineyards is still under investigation. We studied the effects of …

Many fungi require specific growth conditions before they can be identified. Direct
environmental DNA sequencing is advantageous, although for some taxa, specific primers …
