Boxwood blight: an ongoing threat to ornamental and native boxwood [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 Boxwood blight is an emerging disease of ornamental and native boxwood plants in the family Buxaceae. First documented in the 1990s at a single location in England, the disease is now reported throughout Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and North America. To address the growing concern over boxwood blight, ongoing research focuses on multiple biological and ...
