Diverse fungi are intimately associated with plants, and molecules secreted from both the
plant and fungal sides play critical roles in the establishment of their associations and affect …

Certain Trichoderma strains protect plants from diverse pathogens using multiple mechanisms.
We report a novel mechanism that may potentially play an important role in Trichoderma-…

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have well-documented roles in plant-plant communication
and directing animal behavior. In this study, we examine the less understood roles of …

Trichoderma has been used as an alternative to synthetic pesticides to control a variety of
phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes, and nematodes. Although its mechanism of pathogen …

Some volatile compounds (VC) play critical roles in intra- and interspecies interactions. To
investigate roles of VC in fungal ecology, we characterized how VC produced by Verticillium …

Heavy reliance on synthetic pesticides for crop protection has become increasingly unsustainable,
calling for robust alternative strategies that do not degrade the environment and vital …

Volatile compounds (VCs) produced by diverse microbes seem to affect plant growth,
development and/or stress tolerance. We investigated how VCs released by soilborne fungi …

Identification of fungal species relies on the use of molecular markers. Advances in genomic
technologies have made it possible to sequence the genome of any fungal strain, making it …

The bacterial strain Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 does not produce
siderophores, but it absorbs a large amount of ferric iron and synthesizes magnetosomes. We …

We investigated how volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Fusarium oxysporum,
a soilborne fungal species complex that infects diverse plants, affect the growth of four …
