Symposium 56: Phylogeography<br />
Chairs: Gregory Mueller (USA) / H. Thorsten Lumbsch (USA)<br />
The study of processes controlling geographic distributions of lineages using molecular tools is a relatively new and<br />
emerging field in mycology. While it was previously generally believed that fungi have wide distribution patterns and<br />
have largely unstructured populations, recent studies have shown that this not the case. Phylogeographical<br />
approaches offer a powerful tool to understand the current distributions of fungi and their historical development. In<br />
this symposium phylogeographical studies on a wide variety of fungal organisms, including smuts, higher<br />
basidiomycetes, and ascomycetes, including lichen-forming fungi, will be discussed. The symposium includes<br />
examples of parasitic, symbiotic and saprophytic systems. Various molecular markers, such as microsatellites or DNA<br />
sequence data of variable gene regions are employed in the different studies.<br />

Symposium 43: Biocontrol<br />
Chairs: Augusto Schrank (Brasil) / Naresh Magan (UK)<br />
This Symposium will focus on same of the main areas of the biocontrol using filamentous fungi and yeasts. The use of<br />
living organisms to control pests and diseases has attracted increasing interest as a reliable alternative to chemical<br />
control. In particular, the use of fungi in a commercial scale has proven to be effective and economically feasible in<br />
different countries. Filamentous fungi and yeasts have been proposed as biological control agents (BCAs) for a variety<br />
of organisms as insects, ticks, phytopathogenic fungi, mycotoxin producers, nematodes. The main difficulty to the<br />
large-scale use of fungi as BCAs is the longer time required for effective pest control in comparison to that of<br />
chemicals. Much of the current research efforts is applied to improve the knowledge on the host infection<br />
mechanisms and to develop optimized formulations. In addition, many groups are involved in discovery of new<br />
isolates, a pivotal step towards a more general and efficient application of the biocontrol.<br />
