Because the fungus has somewhat unspecialised nutrient requirements and a relatively broad host specificity, it has been frequently used in research and seedling inoculation programs.
Each species produced light, confirming the broad host specificity of the promoters, ribosome binding sites and selectable markers in our vector (Fig. 5).
We explored an alternative approach that entailed genetically modifying a pathogen with broad host specificity so that it no longer caused disease, but carried a gene to disrupt the cane toad life cycle in a species specific manner.
Experimental investigations focusing on the role of individual virulence factors in the pathogenesis of CC130 isolates in different hosts should also be undertaken to help understand the basis of the broad host specificity of this lineage.
The key signs of cryptocaryonosis are the formation of pinhead-sized whitish nodules, mucus hyperproduction, skin discoloration, anorexia and respiratory difficulties [ 2]. C. irritans has low host specificity and can infect a taxonomically broad host range, including both temperate marine fish and saltwater-adapted fresh-water fish that do not encounter the disease naturally [ 7, 8].
polyanthus shows host specificity, and if host abundance and twig architecture influence this specificity in Cerrado (senso strictu).
They conducted numerous cross-inoculation experiments to test for host specificity and symbiotic nitrogen fixation efficiency.
In this paper we sample a substantially broader range of myzostomid species with accompanying DNA sequences, allowing a reassessment of the phylogeny and evaluation of symbiotic lifestyles, host specificity, and host affinity.
Two intriguing properties of rust fungi are their host specificity and their need for host alternation.
Second, we provide a comprehensive overview on the empirical evidence for host specificity and on the potential proximate mechanisms that cause host specificity.
