Stachybotrys chartarum (/ s t æ k iː ˈ b ɒ t r ɪ s tʃ ɑː r ˈ t ɛər ə m /, stak-ee-BO-tris char-TARE-əm), [2] also known as black mold [3] is a species of microfungus that produces its conidia in slime heads. Because of misinformation, S. chartarum has been inappropriately referred to as toxic mold.
Stachybotrys (/ ˌ s t æ k i ˈ b ɒ t r ɪ s /) is a genus of molds, hyphomycetes or asexually reproducing, filamentous fungi, now placed in the family Stachybotryaceae.The genus was erected by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1837.
White mold affects a wide range of hosts and causes sclerotinia stem rot. It is known to infect 408 plant species. As a nonspecific plant pathogen, [2] diverse host range and ability to infect plants at any stage of growth makes white mold a serious disease. The fungus can survive on infected tissues, in the soil, and on living plants.
Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete or water mold, a fungus-like microorganism that causes the serious potato and tomato disease known as late blight or potato blight. Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani, is also often called "potato blight".
Trichoderma is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae that is present in all soils, where they are the most prevalent culturable fungi. Many species in this genus can be characterized as opportunistic avirulent plant symbionts. [1]
As these compounds are effective against different types of fungi, C. cladosporioides is an important species for potential treatment and control of various plant-infecting fungi. [10] The inoculation of Venturia inaequalis , a fungus that causes apple scab on apple tree leaves, with C. cladosporioides led to decreased conidial production in V ...
Efforts to control rusts began to be scientifically based in the 20th century. [21] Elvin C. Stakman initiated the scientific study of host resistance, which had heretofore been poorly understood and handled by individual growers as part of the breeding process. [21] Stakman was followed by H. H. Flor's extensive discoveries of rust genetics. [21]
