Development of Primers Specific for Detection of Litylenchus crenatae, the Causal Agent of Beech Leaf Disease, in Plant Tissue

Plant Disease, 2023
Beech leaf disease (BLD), an emerging threat to American beech (Fagus grandifolia) in the northern United States and Canada, was recently confirmed to be caused by the nematode Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii (hereafter L. crenatae). Consequently, there is a need for a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for detecting L.

Beech leaf disease reduces nitrogen retranslocation at leaf fall, altering litter chemistry

Oecologia
Beech leaf disease (BLD) poses a serious threat to the health of beech forests throughout the northeastern USA and Canada. Caused by invasive nematodes, BLD first appeared in 2012 in Ohio and has rapidly spread eastward. We investigated the effects of BLD on leaf and litter chemistry and leaf litter decomposition rate from four infected beech stands in

Diversity and potential sources of introduction of the beech leaf nematode ( Litylenchus crenatae mccannii ) to Ontario, Canada [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology
Litylenchus crenatae mccannii is a foliar nematode that causes severe damage to beech, known as beech leaf disease (BLD). Previous studies have characterized and identified L. crenataein Japan and a subspecies L. crenatae mccannii in the USA. Litylenchus

Phenological Evaluation of Bud Retention, Leaf Production, and Nematode Abundance Associated With Beech Leaf Disease

Forest Pathology
ABSTRACTBeech leaf disease (BLD) is an emerging threat to American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) throughout North American forests attributable to the plant‐parasitic nematode Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii (Lcm). This study describes the impacts of BLD on bud retention and subsequent leaf production, associated symptoms, and the abundance of Lcm

Thiabendazole as a Therapeutic Root Flare Injection for Beech Leaf Disease Management

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry
Abstract Background Thiabendazole (TBZ) has long been used in the arboricultural industry for tree injections as a key management tool of Dutch elm disease and sycamore anthracnose. This active ingredient is systemically distributed throughout the canopy and can offer multiple seasons of protection ...

Rapid assessment of beech leaf disease in Fagus sylvatica buds

Forest Pathology
AbstractThe European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is threatened by the foliar nematode Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii (Lcm), the causal agent of beech leaf disease (BLD). Thus far, the majority of studies regarding BLD have focused on American beech (F. grandifolia).

Beech Leaf Disease Impairs Growth and Carbohydrate Storage in Fagus grandifolia

Forest Pathology
ABSTRACT Beech leaf disease (BLD) is a foliar disease of American beech ( Fagus grandifolia ) that manifests as gall symptoms in leaves caused by infestations from Litylenchus crenatae ssp.

The presence and distribution of nematode Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii, the causative agent of beech leaf disease, in forest stands across Ohio

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
Fagus grandifolia is an important forest tree species in North America that has been afflicted with beech leaf disease (BLD) since 2012. BLD can lead to substantial canopy thinning and eventual tree mortality. Current evidence suggest that Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii (hereafter LCM) is the causative agent of BLD.
