PCR detection of aflatoxin producing fungi and its limitations

See on Scoop.it – PCR PRIMERS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PHYTOPATHOGENIC FUNGI

Unlike bacterial toxins that are primarily peptides and are therefore encoded by a single gene, fungal toxins such as the aflatoxins are multi-ring structures and therefore require a sequence of structural genes for their biological synthesis. There is therefore no specific PCR . . . → Read More: PCR detection of aflatoxin producing fungi and its limitations

The Top 10 fungal pathogens in molecular plant pathology

Last year, Molecular Plant Pathology set up the fungal pathogens survey, asking to plant mycologists associated with the journal to vote the most important plant fungi in terms of scientific and/or economic interest.

On the base of nearly 500 votes they compiled the top 10 list of fungal pathogens:
