Effectors in Elsinoë spp. (New Publication) Effectors and other secondary metabolites relevant to pathogen virulence were detected in silico in the fungal genus, Elsinoë. This genus is known to have a wide host range affecting major crops in the country such as scabs in mango, sweet potato, and peanut.
Resistance to DMI Fungicides (New Publication) This in silico study showed the distinct genetic signatures observed among the asexually-reproducing plant pathogenic fungi, Alternaria alternata and Alternaria tenuissima, wherein phylogenetic clusters structured according to their sensistvity to DMI fungicides.
The Fungal Lab goes to BenguetSampling of various farms around the Benguet RegionThe Fungal Lab recently conducted a field trip to the Benguet region for sample collection as part of our ongoing studies. We covered various locations in the area, including Kibungan, Kapangan, La Trinidad, Atok, Buguias, and Bakun, gathering samples from a diverse range of crops such as strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, and cabbage. Seminar hosted by the Benguet State University for the local communityFollowing our collection efforts, a brief seminar was organized, where Professor Latina and Dr. Dacones shared insights from their studies on nematodes and fungal pathogens to an audience that consisted of local government members, university faculty and staff, researchers, students, and regional farmers.
