To determine if DNA configuration, gene locus, and flanking sequences will affect
homologous recombination in the phytopathogenic fungus Cercospora nicotianae, we …

Under illumination, the fungal secondary metabolites, perylenequinones (PQs) react with
molecular oxygen to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which, in excess can damage …

Phytopathogenic cercosporoid fungi have been investigated comprehensively due to their
important role in causing plant diseases. A significant amount of research has been focused …

Elsinoë fawcettii and E. australis are important pathogens of citrus. Both species are known
to produce red or orange pigments, called elsinochrome. Elsinochrome is a nonhost …

Fungal phytotoxins can be defined as secondary metabolites toxic to host plants and are
