Owner Institution
Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection (IPSP) - Section of Sesto Fiorentino (Florence), Department of AgriFood Sciences (DiSBA), National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Sesto Fiorentino, IT
Bioresources
Filamentous Fungi
Main Taxa
Large variety of ascomycetous fungi, some basidiomycetes, characterized as pathogens of forest trees (Seiridium spp., Diplodia spp., Pestalotiopsis spp., Armillaria spp., Heterobasidion abietinum, Cryphonectria parasitica). A second core of collection is composed by 35 strains of Trichoderma spp. and Clonostachys rosea, characterized as Biocontrol Agents (BCA). Some basidiomycetes used for trials on mycelium-based biomaterial (Pleurotus ostreatus, Phomitopsis pinicola, Ganoderma lucidum, Trametes versicolor). One strain of the oomycetes Phytophthora cambivora and one of P. cinnamomi are also available.
Description
IPSP-CNR collection preserve about 1000 private strains for research purposes. The strains are mainly isolated from the Mediterranean Forests and from cypress species around the world.
