Filling the Gap in Southern Europe—Diversity of Cryphonectria parasitica and Associated Mycovirus (Cryphonectria hypovirus 1) in Montenegro

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Cryphonectria parasitica is an invasive fungal pathogen that causes blight disease on chestnut trees. Its destructive effect can be controlled with naturally occurring mycovirus Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1). To date, the spread of C.

The Emergence of a CRISPR‐Cas Revolution in Ecology: Applications, Challenges, and an Ecologist's Overview of the Toolbox

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT CRISPR‐Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—CRISPR‐associated nucleases) systems allow researchers to detect, capture, and even alter parts of an organism's genome. However, while the use of CRISPR‐Cas has revolutionised many fields in the life sciences, its full potential remains underutilised in ecology and ...

The Mycovirus Cryphonectria Hypovirus 1 Infects the Heterologous Host Fusarium oxysporum and Induces Hypovirulence

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
The Cryphonectria parasitica hypovirus CHV1 efficiently replicates in the heterologous host Fusarium oxysporum, inducing clear hypovirulence, and has the potential to persist and spread in this pathogen by constant infections and re‐infections through hyphal anastomosis.

Biochar: A Sustainable Solution for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Enhancing Soil Productivity—A Review

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) resulting from human activities significantly impact crop production and agricultural sustainability, necessitating innovative solutions to mitigate their effects. One promising approach is employing biochar for GHG mitigation, providing a potential means to offset emissions and enhance crop productivity sustainably.

MULTI-PURPOSE CHESTNUT CLUSTERS DETECTION USING DEEP LEARNING: A PRELIMINARY APPROACH [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019
In the early 1980′s, the European chestnut tree (Castanea sativa, Mill.) assumed an important role in the Portuguese economy. Currently, the Trás-os-Montes region (Northeast of Portugal) concentrates the highest chestnuts production in Portugal ...

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Virulence, ligninolytic enzymes and metabolic profile of Cryphonectria parasitica virulent and hypovirulent strains Converted by CHV1 hypovirus

Millenium, 2020
Introduction: Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight, causes necrotic lesions (so-called cankers) on the bark of stems and branches of susceptible host trees. Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) infects C.

Bacterial Blight of Chestnut

Japanese Journal of Phytopathology, 1934
This paper deals with a bacterial blight of chestnut and its causal organism. The disease is mostly conspicuous in buds and young shoots though also occurs on the leaves, veins, petioles and bracteal leaves, the last being usually attacked at first. The sign of the disease in the early stage is water-soaked spots on the leaves and young shoots in which
