Role and distribution

Species of Ampelomyces are mycoparasites and occur on several powdery mildew hosts infecting Acanthaceae, Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Bixaceae, Boraginaceae, Brassicaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Erysiphaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae and Malvaceae. Ampelomyces has world-wide distribution. Ampelomyces is an effective biocontrol agent against Erysiphe cichoracearum, the causal agent of powdery mildew disease in Abelmoschus esculentus (Kanipriya et al. 2019). Zhang et al. (2009e) reported polyoxygenated methyl cyclohexanoids from Ampelomyces.
