TL;DR: It is indicated that there may have been at least four independent losses of the flagellum in the kingdom Fungi, and the enigmatic microsporidia seem to be derived from an endoparasitic chytrid ancestor similar to Rozella allomycis, on the earliest diverging branch of the fungal phylogenetic tree.

TL;DR: Pezizomycotina is the largest subphylum of Ascomycota and includes the vast majority of filamentous, ascoma-producing species, and the seven remaining classes formed a monophyletic group that corresponds to Leotiomyceta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Populations, pathogenicity, and benomyl resistance of Botrytis spp., Penicillium spp., and Mucor piriformis in packinghouses

Journal ArticleDOI
Biological Control of Postharvest Diseases of Apple and Pear under Semi-commercial and Commercial Conditions Using Three Saprophytic Yeasts☆
TL;DR: The combination of C. laurentii with 264 μg/ml of thiabendazole was significantly more effective for control of blue mold on pear than thiabsorbentazole at 528 μg/ML whenever any thiABendazoles-resistant spores were present in the inoculum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of postharvest pear diseases using natural saprophytic yeast colonists and their combination with a low dosage of thiabendazole
T. Chand-Goyal,Robert A. Spotts +1 more
TL;DR: Thirty-one morphologically different strains of yeasts and yeast-like fungi, isolated from the surface of pear fruits, were evaluated for biocontrol potential of blue mold on d'Anjou pear fruits and C. glutinis HRB6 combined with a low dose of thiabendazole gave significantly better disease control than either TBZ or the yeast alone.
