  • , the expression of symptoms such as lesions or necrosis) [ 14 ] on plants due to air-borne fungi are favored by temperatures of 15-40°C [ 12 15 ] . Field studies on plant pathogens have demonstrated that the growth of fungi is favored by high moisture and moderate temperatures [ 3 15 16 17 18 ] and that low relative humidity and extreme temperatures inhibit growth and spore germination [ 13 19 ] . Other studies on soil fungi also show that prevalence differs among habitats and seasons and correlates positively with moisture and negatively with temperature [ 13 20 ] . This apparent positive relationship between moisture and fungal growth and abundance may result from the high surface-to-volume ratio of fungi, making them vulnerable to water loss.

  • Mannose is a glucose analog that has been postulated to affect seed germination [ 19 ] and sugar-regulated gene expression [ 31 32 ] via a signaling pathway that requires hexokinase activity.

  • However, techniques based on growing of cells from spores or measuring their physiological activity after germination, not performed by Viking, could provide a sensitivity as low as a few spores / g of soil [ 37 ] .

  • Soluble sugars, such as glucose and sucrose, have been postulated to act as signaling molecules that help regulate a wide variety of plant developmental and physiological processes [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ] .
