Plant-mediated interactions between the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, insect herbivores and a plant pathogen
(Lincoln University, 2016-12-19)
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana can adopt an endophytic lifestyle by colonising a wide array of plant species. Several studies have reported enhanced resistance against insects and plant pathogens from ...
Studies on the Efficacy of Three Trichoderma atroviride Isolates for Controlling Take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici) in Grasses
(Lincoln University, 2018)
Take-all, caused by the fungal pathogen Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt), is an internationally important widespread root disease of cereals and grasses. The disease is suspected as the main cause of the increasing ...
Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale
(Lincoln University, 2018)
Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale ...
The genome and beyond: phenotypic determinants of two Trichoderma cf. atroviride sister strains
(Lincoln University, 2015)
Trichoderma cf. atroviride isolate LU132 is used commercially in New Zealand as a biological control agent (BCA) on various economically important plants to protect against plant pathogens. Its broad spectrum of antagonistic ...
The genomes of three uneven siblings: Footprints of the lifestyles of three Trichoderma species
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-03)
The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a broad, comprehensive overview of the ...
Plant mutualisms with rhizosphere microbiota in introduced versus native ranges
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Ecological Society, 2016-09)
© 2016 The Authors. Journal of Ecology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Ecological Society. The performance of introduced plants can be limited by the availability of soil mutualists outside their ...
Genome-scale investigation of phenotypically distinct but nearly clonal Trichoderma strains
(PeerJ, 2016-05-12)
Biological control agents (BCA) are beneficial organisms that are applied to protect plants from pests. Many fungi of the genus Trichoderma are successful BCAs but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. ...
Transcriptional reprogramming of Arabidopsis thaliana defence pathways by the entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana correlates with resistance against a fungal pathogen but not against insects
(Frontiers Media, 2019-03-29)
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana can adopt an endophytic lifestyle by colonising a wide array of plant species. Beauveria-colonised plants can show enhanced resistance against insects and plant pathogens ...
