(Elsevier, 2016-11)Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is the most economically important virus found on citrus and influences production worldwide. The 3‟ half of the RNA genome is generally conserved amongst sources, whereas the 5‟ portion is more ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-03)African horse sickness virus (AHSV) and bluetongue virus (BTV) are arboviruses of the genus Orbivirus that are transmitted to their vertebrate hosts by Culicoides biting midges. These orbiviruses exhibit lytic infection ...
-
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-03-09)Transcription factors (TFs) forming MYB-bHLH-WDR complexes are known to regulate the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites in angiosperms through an intricate network. These specialized metabolites participate in a wide ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Sexual reproduction is necessary to generate genetic diversity and, in ascomycete fungi, this process is controlled by a mating type (MAT) locus with two complementary idiomorphs. Knoxdaviesia capensis and K. proteae ...
-
(Taylor & Francis and NISC (Pty) Ltd, 2016-11)Guava wilt disease (GWD) caused by the fungus Nalanthamala psidii remains a major constraint to guava production in South Africa and South East Asia. In the current study, chemical and biological products as well as plant ...
-
(International Society for Tropical Ecology, 2016)This study conducted between May and October 2012, was aimed at investigating the contribution of urban domestic garden flora in the Capricorn District, Limpopo Province, South Africa to household food supply. Semi-structured ...
-
(International Mycological Association, 2016-10-21)Raffaelea (Ophiostomatales) is a genus of more than 20 ophiostomatoid fungi commonly occurring in symbioses with wood-boring ambrosia beetles. We examined ambrosia beetles and plant hosts in the USA and Taiwan for the ...
-
(International Mycological Association, 2016-11-29)Draft genomes for the fungi Ceratocystis fagacearum, C. harringtonii, Grosmannia penicillata, and Huntiella bhutanensis are presented. Ceratocystis fagacearum is a major causal agent of vascular wilt of oaks and other ...
-
(International Mycological Association, 2016-11-29)Ustilago is a polyphyletic genus of smut fungi found mainly on Poaceae. The development of a taxonomy that reflects phylogeny requires subdivision of Ustilago into smaller monophyletic genera. Several separate systematic ...
-
(International Mycological Association, 2016-11-29)With the change to one scientific name for fungal species, numerous papers have been published with recommendations for use or protection of competing generic names in major groups of ascomycetes. Although genera in each ...

(BioMed Central, 2017-01-31)BACKGROUND : Mokola virus (MOKV) is a rabies-related lyssavirus and appears to be exclusive to the African continent. Only 24 cases of MOKV, which includes two human cases, have been reported since its identification in ...
-
(Wiley, 2016-04)Decay and quality loss severely affect the marketability of fresh zucchini. Zucchinis are easily damaged during harvesting, - handling and - storage and no commercial treatment is currently available that can protect the ...
-
Antifungal actinomycetes associated with the pine bark beetle, Orthotomicus erosus, in South Africa (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2017-01)Actinomycete bacteria are often associated with insects that have a mutualistic association with fungi. These bacteria are believed to be important to this insect–fungus association as they produce antibiotics that exclude ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-01-12)The Namib Desert in southwest Africa is hyperarid and composed of distinct microbial communities affected by a longitudinal aridity gradient. Here, we report four soil metaviromes from the Namib Desert, assessed using ...
-
(Springer, 2017-04)During a survey of endophytic fungi from the cactus Tacinga inamoena in a Brazilian tropical dry forest (Caatinga) some undescribed ascomycetous fungi were isolated. These fungi are characterized by superficial and ...
-
(Wiley, 2016-12)Between 2010-2014 symptoms of a shot hole disease were observed on cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus L.) trees and shrubs in parks and other public plantings in Belgrade, Serbia. Ten symptomatic leaves were collected ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-01)Conventionally, Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla (GU) hybrid material has first been tested as seedlings in progeny trials for at least four years before ortets were selected and ramets of the selected ortets were propagated ...
