BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CHESTNUT BLIGHT IN PORTUGAL [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2014 Hypovirulence is a specific biological control method of chestnut blight, a lethal disease of American and European chestnut. The causal pathogen of chestnut blight is Cryphonectria parasitica, a fungus of Asian origin and an A2 quarantine organism in Europe. The disease has been reported since 1990 in Portugal, one of the last European countries where

Chestnut resistance to the blight disease: insights from transcriptome analysis
BMC Plant Biology, 2012 Background A century ago, Chestnut Blight Disease (CBD) devastated the American chestnut. Backcross breeding has been underway to introgress resistance from Chinese chestnut into surviving American chestnut genotypes. Development of genomic resources for

Comparison of the transcriptomes of American chestnut (
BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background1471-2229-9-51 American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was devastated by an exotic pathogen in the beginning of the twentieth century. This chestnut blight is caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, a fungus that infects stem tissues and kills the ...

Interactions between chestnut gall wasp and blight: a new criticality for chestnut
Forest@, 2010 The fast spread of Chinese gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) represents a new constraint factor for chestnut stands and orchards in Italy. So far, the favourable effect of hypovirulence in Cryphonectria parasitica-Castanea sativa patho-system allowed the
