Host preference, niches and fungal diversity.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi occur in remarkably species-rich assemblages. One of the prevailing hypotheses to explain this diversity is niche differentiation; by occupying distinct ecological niches within a site, multiple fungal species are able to co-occur (Bruns, 1995). In this issue of New Phytologist (pp. 000–000), Ishida and colleagues make a significant contribution to our understanding of nic...
متن کاملHost Plant Preference of Mansonia Mosquitoes
Human brugian filariasis, which is caused by Brugia malayi and B. timori , affects 13 million people in the oriental region (WHO 2002) and is most common in India and China (Ottesen et al. 1997). The most important vectors of B. malayi , in the endemic countries of South-east Asia, are different Mansonia species in the subgenus Mansonioides . The vectors of the parasite causing brugian filarias...
متن کاملOvipositional Host Plant Preference of Sepia officinalis
The present study was undertaken to verify ancient data in the literature on ovipositional preference o f the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis for the terrestrial plant Pistacia lentiscus (mastic tree). Adult specimens o f Sepia were placed in basins together with aerial parts not only of P. lentiscus, but also o f Artemisia arborescens, Centaurea alba var. deusta, Quercus ilex and Laurus nobilis. ...
متن کاملAdult Phyllophaga Ephilida Host Plant Feeding Preference
Limited biological information about Phyllophaga ephilida , a major sweet potato pest in Louisiana, is available. In 2001 and 2002, a study was conducted in the laboratory to investigate the feeding preference of adult Phyllophaga ephilida (Say) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) for the foliage of eight woody plant species: water oak ( Quercus nigra L.), live oak ( Quercus virginiana Mill.), red maple...
متن کاملHIGS: host-induced gene silencing in the obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis.
Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic pathogens that only grow on living hosts and cause damage in thousands of plant species. Despite their agronomical importance, little direct functional evidence for genes of pathogenicity and virulence is currently available because mutagenesis and transformation protocols are lacking. Here, we show that the accumulation in barley (Hordeum vulgare) a...
