Orthology is a key evolutionary concept in many areas of genomic research. It provides a framework for subjects as diverse as the evolution of genomes, gene functions, cellular networks and functional genome annotation. Although orthologous proteins usually perform equivalent functions in different species, establishing true orthologous relationships requires a phylogenetic approach, which comb...

fungi release wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (vocs) that belong to several chemical groups with different biochemical origins such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, esters, furans, ketones, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. trichoderma species are the most studied fungal biocontrol agents and are successfully used as biofungicides and biofertili...

Trichoderma spp. Is one of the widespread saprophytic fungi in rhizosphere, which have received considerable attention as potential bio-control agents against most of plant pathogens as well as high utility towards medical and industrial sciences. The advent of molecular era could be judiciously utilized for investigations in fungal taxonomy prompted research in the mid-nineties to re-assess th...

colletotrichum species are associated with citrus plants as pathogens, saprobes and endophytes. according to the most recent multigene phylogenetic analysis, a lot of changes were happened in the taxonomy and species delimitation in the genus colletotrichum. in this investigation, 292 colletotrichum isolates were obtained from leaves, fruits and stems of citrus species at golestan, mazandaran, ...

samples were collected from soil and as well from phyllosphere of rice plant and subjected to dilution plate technique on rbsf trichoderma selective medium. a total of 202 trichoderma isolates were obtained from rice fields at different geographical locations distributed all over mazandaran province. single spore isolates were obtained and genomic dna extracted from all the isolates using dna e...

Trichoderma species are among important antagonists of plant pathogenic fungi. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocontrol potential of native Trichoderma spp. isolates from sugar beet fields against Phytophthora drechsleri and P. cryptogea, the causal agents of Phytophthora root rot of sugar beet. During 2007–08, 85 isolates of Trichoderma spp. from sugar beet fields in eight...

Trichoderma species are filamentous fungi that were previously considered to be culture contaminants. We report 2 well-documented cases of invasive Trichoderma infections, and we comprehensively review the literature on this topic. Trichoderma species are mainly responsible for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (7 cases) and invasive infections in immunocompromise...
