Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

The genus Alternaria, alternarioid hyphomycetes, comprise a biologically, ecologically, and
morphologically rich group of fungi that has suffered from taxonomic flux for many years. The …

This paper represents the third contribution in the Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi
(GOPHY) series. The series provides morphological descriptions, information about the …

Phytopathogens are responsible for great losses in agriculture, once they are able to subvert
or elude the host defense mechanisms through virulence factors secretion for their …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) NADPH oxidases have been reported to suppress the
spread of pathogen-and salicylic acid-induced cell death. Here, we present dual roles of …

Sphingolipids comprise a major class of structural materials and lipid signaling molecules in
all eukaryotic cells. Over the past two decades, there has been a phenomenal growth in the …

Plant pathogenic fungi cause important yield losses in crops. In order to develop efficient
and environmental friendly crop protection strategies, molecular studies of the fungal …

Many phytopathogenic fungi exert their destructive effects by producing and secreting toxic
low molecular weight compounds. In the past years a large number of novel fungal virulence …

Plants, being sessile in nature, are inept to escape biotic stress that adversely impact their
growth, development, and productivity. Rather, plants employ a variety of processes at the …

Plant pathogens cause huge yield losses. Plant defense often depends on toxic secondary
metabolites that inhibit pathogen growth. Because most secondary metabolites are also …
