We describe a general, simple and inexpensive method for the isolation of DNA from
filamentous fungi. Starting from freeze‐dried mycelium 01–015% by weight can be isolated …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

We report the cloning and characterisation of Pot2, a putative transposable element from
Magnaporthe grisea. The element is 1857 by in size, has 43-bp perfect terminal inverted …

Phagocytic defenses are critical for effective host defenses against the opportunistic fungal
pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Previous studies found that following challenge with A …

A selectable marker for transformation was constructed by transcriptional fusion of a Ustilago
maydis heat shock gene promoter with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene of …

Current methods of DNA extraction from different fungal pathogens are often time-
consuming and require the use of toxic chemicals. DNA isolation from some fungal …

Trichothecenes are mycotoxins produced by Trichoderma, Fusarium, and at least four other
genera in the fungal order Hypocreales. Fusarium has a trichothecene biosynthetic gene …

The gene encoding the multifunctional enzyme enniatin synthetase from Fusarium scirpi
(esyn1) was isolated and characterized by transcriptional mapping and expression studies …

A systematic study on the incidence and patterns of cytosine methylation in the fungi has
been carried out by restriction and nearest-neighbor analysis of DNAs isolated from …

Gene clusters for biosynthesis of the fungal polyketides hypothemycin and radicicol from
Hypomyces subiculosus and Pochonia chlamydosporia, respectively, were sequenced. Both …
