  Project: PALLIFIT: a novel molecular classification of virulence in the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida for breeding nematode resistance in potato

  Recent publications have reported the discovery of local field populations of the potato cyst nematode G. pallida with exceptionally high virulence on...

• The ecology and evolution of fungal senescence

  Podospora anserina is a coprophilous fungus that grows exclusively on herbivore dung. Thus, in nature the fungus has only a short period in which it...

• Rejuvenation

  The filamentous fungus Podospora anserina is a modular organism. In nature the fungus has only short period in which can grow on herbivore dung and...

• Calorie Restriction and life span extension in P. anserina

  For many organisms, including humans, calorie restriction is known to have a positive effect on life span. Currently a discussion is going on whether...

• The origin of senescence in Podospora species

  Most fungi show indeterminate growth, and are ‘immortal’ but exceptions do exist. Podopora anserina is a coprophilous fungus that in...

• Free radical theory of ageing

  Free radicals like the reactive oxygen species are thought to have a major influence on the ageing in many species.

• On the two mating types of P. anserina

  The filamentous fungus Podospora anserina grows in nature on herbivore dung and has only short period in which can form mycelium and obligatory sexual...

• The het-s prion of Podospora anserina causes meiotic drive and heterokaryon incompatibility

  In natural populations of P.anserina two alleles of the het-s/S locus are found: het-s and het-S. Strains of the het-s genotype can have two...

• Selfish genetic elements in the black Aspergilli

  Selfish genetic elements in the black Aspergilli - WUR Project Selfish genetic elements in the black Aspergilli Description: The asexual filamentous...

• Isolation and characterization of ‘immortal’ P. anserina strains

  Podospora anserina is a coprophilous fungus that grows exclusively on herbivore dung. Thus, in nature the fungus has only short period in which it has...
