Strengthening Predictive Models for Wheat Stem Rust Infection Risk in a Changing Climate: Gaps and Opportunities

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Here we review environmental data underpinning epidemiological models for wheat stem rust, highlighting gaps that, once addressed, would significantly enhance the predictive power of these tools. ABSTRACT Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a major global fungal pathogen that causes stem rust of wheat (Triticum spp.) (the primary and principal ...

Intentional introgression of a blight tolerance transgene to rescue the remnant population of American chestnut

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2021
In contrast to many current applications of biotechnology, the intended consequence of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project is to produce trees that are well‐adapted to thrive not just in confined fields or orchards, but throughout their ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) as a Functional Keystone Species Shaping Woodland Flora in the UK

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Ash trees have distinct ecological attributes—their canopy allows a high level of light to penetrate and their foliage decomposes rapidly. Here we used woodland survey data to explore if the prevalence of ash trees has an impact on associated plant communities at a fine spatial scale.

Developing Blight-Tolerant American Chestnut Trees [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2019
An invasive fungal pathogen has reduced the American chestnut (Castanea dentata), once a keystone tree species within its natural range in the eastern United States and Canada, to functional extinction. To help restore this important canopy tree, blight-tolerant American chestnut trees have been developed using an oxalate oxidase-encoding gene from ...

Effects of Debris Flow Disturbance on Vegetation, Soils, and Topography in a Steep Landscape in Central Virginia

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In August 1969, intense rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Camille triggered >150 debris flows in Fortune's Cove, a first‐order drainage basin in central Virginia. These debris flows reshaped the landscape by stripping colluvium and vegetation from hollows.
