Summary
Mycology and Plant Pathology emphasizes on various important aspects of pathology, taxoecology, techniques and biological control. The First chapter is to identify host genes involved in the interaction between mycovirus and fungus host. Second chapter examines the Paleogene’s radiation of plant pathogenic mushroom while Third chapter describe a gene in the genome of several species of the genus Colletotrichum with a strong resemblance to subtilisin typically found in plant genomes. Fourth chapter elucidate factors involved in virulence and other molecular mechanisms that may be used to exploit the fungus to control expansion of cheatgrass popualtions. Fifth chapter reports on the results of the pathogen survey of one to two plantations by mean of symptoms records, detection of organisms by molecular (mass sequencing) techniques, their taxonomic collocation, and the potential of pathogenicity to EU hosts. Sixth chapter aims to investigate the genetic origin of Phytophthora andina, an increasingly common pathogen of Andrean crops Solanum bataceum, S. muricatum, S.quitoense, and several wild Solanum sp. . Seventh chapter concludes that AMF can modulate mycotoxin gene expression by a plant fungal pathogen. Eighth chapter determines plant tolerance to pathogen attack in assembled mycorrhizal communities and Ninth Chapter focuses on the hybrid and plant pathogen Verticillium longisporum, the causal agent of the Verticillium wilt disease in crucifer crops, and Tenth chapter explores on characterisation of the white-collar complex (WCC).
