seed pathogens

[Laura Hyatt]

Does anyone know about any fungi that specialize on bringing an end to 
the life of seeds in the soil?  I am a seed bank ecologist and am 
wondering about the effects of fungi on seed longevity.  Also, does 
anyone know about how one might go about measuring and manipulating the 
abundance of hyphae in the soil?

Thanks for your attention.
  Laura
