Biological control of Pyrrhoderma noxium: an aggressive basidiomycete responsible for brown root rot of trees
Microbiology Australia, Vol.46(3), pp.119-124

Abstract
Globally, various biotic stressors are threatening the production of crops including wheat, cotton, maize, vegetables, fruit and ornamentals with up to 50–75% yield losses caused predominantly by fungal pathogens. One such fungal pathogen is Pyrrhoderma noxium, an aggressive basidiomycete fungus that induces the invasive disease of brown root rot in a variety of tree hosts, spanning over 250 species. This mini review will focus on various characteristics of this pathogen which is now a widespread across tropical and subtropical regions of the world infecting broad-leaved, coniferous woody, herbaceous, fruit and ornamental trees with examples of the research conducted at the University of the Sunshine Coast jointly with the Brisbane City Council.
