Fagus grandifolia growth and mortality a decade after the emergence of Beech leaf disease
Trees, Forests and PeopleBeech leaf disease (BLD) is poised to cause major declines in American beech (Fagus grandifolia) across the eastern United States and parts of Canada. Given the dominance of this tree, quantifying impacts of this emerging disease is critical.

Improvement of long segment ribosomal PCR amplification for molecular identification of Litylenchus crenatae mccannii associated with beech leaf disease [PDF]
Journal of Nematology, 2020 Abstract Generating DNA markers for microscopic plant parasitic nematodes can be especially difficult if only a few valuable, tiny specimens are available. Providing a reliable maximum amount of unambiguous genetic information from single nematodes is especially important when identifying damaging, regulated ...

Anatomical and physiological consequences of beech leaf disease in Fagus grandifolia L.
Forest Pathology, 2023 Beech leaf disease (BLD) is a foliar disease of American Beech (Fagus grandifolia L.) causally linked to the nematode Litylenchus crenatae mccannii and has rapidly spread throughout central and northeastern North America. This study aimed to characterize

Clearing the Noise: Seasonal Dynamics of Endophytic Bacteria in Fagus sylvatica Leaves Revealed by Application of PNA Clamps. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT The characterization of the seasonal dynamics of endophytic bacteria in beech leaves can be hindered by co‐amplification of chloroplast and mitochondrial plant DNA. This study applies established peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamps to suppress host‐derived amplification while resolving bacterial succession across the vegetative season ...

Beech leaf disease: An emerging forest epidemic
Forest Pathology, 2019 AbstractBeech leaf disease (BLD) is a currently undiagnosed and seemingly lethal disease that was discovered in 2012 on American beech trees (Fagus grandifolia) in north‐east Ohio in the United States. Since its discovery, BLD has spread rapidly and can now be found in forests in 10 counties in Ohio, eight counties in Pennsylvania and five counties in ...
