Name	Jeewon, Rajesh
First date flourished	2003
Remarks	Research: 1. Application of classical taxonomy and use of molecular tools to determine phylogenetic relationships among different groups of microorganisms (especially targeting several genes and assessing their phylogenetic potential); 2. Role of endophytes as saprobes, their lifestyle and identification based on molecular methods; 3. Molecular systematics of the pathogenic genus Colletotrichum based on protein, elongation factor & mitochondrial genes; 4. Assessing modes and rates of molecular evolution of several genes among the Sordariomycetes (Ascomycetes); 5. Use of DNA fingerprinting techniques (e.g. DGGE) to analyse fungal communities in grasses, pine needles, Castanopsis diversifolia and Magnolia liliifera; 6. Phylogeny of Pleosporales (Loculoascomycetes), Cyathus & Marasmius (Basidiomycot.), Dactylaria & allies (nematodes trapping fungi:[Orbiliales]), and anamorphic fungi such as Chalara, Pestalotiopsis & Sporidesmium (Ascomyc.); 7. Application of proteomics in fungal tax. [author note: Univ. Portsmouth] Example of Name Published: Emarcea castanopsidicola M. L. Duong., Jeewon & K. D. Hyde, Studies in Mycology 50: 255. 2004.
