A Cylindrocarpon species with up to 10 microm wide, straight and predominantly 3-septate macroconidia, subglobose to ovoidal microconidia and chlamydospores, is described as Cyl. pauciseptatum. It is most similar to Cyl. austrodestructans but no chlamydospores and microconidia are formed in the latter. Similar macroconidia also occur in Cyl. theobromicola, which forms oval to ellipsoidal microc...

Fungal root endophytes obtained from natural vegetation were tested for antifungal activity in dual culture tests against the root pathogen Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici. Fifteen isolates, including Acremonium blochii, Acremonium furcatum, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cylindrocarpon sp., Cylindrocarpon destructans, Dactylaria sp., Fusarium equiseti, Phoma herbarum, Phoma leveillei, and a steri...

Black foot disease is a serious disease of grapevine crops in most areas where vines are grown. Mainly two species of Cylindrocarpon, C. destructans and C. macrodidymum, are associated with this disease. Recent studies have revealed a tremendous molecular variation within the former but only slight molecular variation within the latter, indicating that C. destructans presents a complex of sever...

Purpose: To report the first human case of fungal keratitis caused by Cylindrocarpon destructans and to highlight the issues with the use of topical steroids, the duration of antifungal treatment and the potential role of topical ciclosporin. Methods: A patient presented following being injured in the left eye by a fuchsia plant. Data was collected by slit lamp examination and review of the cas...

SUN, J. M., J. F. FU, R. J. ZHOU and X. R. YAN, 2013. Influence of exogenously applied methyl jasmonate Cylindrocarpon Destructans in vitro. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 530-535 Methyl jasmonate (MeJA), which is one of the plant lipid derivatives, is considered as a signaling substance during plantmicrobe interactions. It is related to plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. To assess the i...

The soil-borne ascomycete fungus Cylindrocarpon destructans causes ginseng root rot disease and produces various secondary metabolites such as brefeldin A and radicicol. The slow growth of this fungus compared with other plant pathogenic and saprophytic fungi in soil disturbs isolation of this fungus from soil and infected ginseng. In this study, we developed a selective medium for C. destructa...

Ginseng root rot caused by Cylindrocarpon destructans is the most destructive disease of ginseng. Six different fungicides (thiophanate-methyl, benomyl, prochloraz, mancozeb, azoxystrobin, and iprodione) were selected to evaluate the inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth and conidial germination of C. destructans isolates. Benomyl and prochloraz were found to be the most effective fungicides...
