Utilizing mitochondrial genome sequences to understand population diversity among Trichoderma species (opens in new tab)

Biopesticides, including those containing various Trichoderma species, may provide improved control of fungal diseases of woody perennials including grapevines. Thus, Trichoderma isolates were obtained from grapevines in California, U.S.A., with eight strains demonstrated to provide biological control against fungal pathogens. These were determined via phylogenetic analyses to be one of six different species: Trichoderma asperellum, Trichoderma capillare, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma sa...
