Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Cyto-molecular characterization of rDNA and chromatin composition in the NOR-associated satellite in Chestnut (Castanea spp.)

Scientific Reports
The American chestnut (Castanea dentata, 2n = 2x = 24), once known as the “King of the Appalachian Forest”, was decimated by chestnut blight during the first half of the twentieth century by an invasive fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica).

A Viral RNA Silencing Suppressor Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species Levels to Induce the Autophagic Degradation of Dicer‐Like and Argonaute‐Like Proteins

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.
Understanding the virus‐host arms race has been a fascinating topic in virology; contributing significantly to the development of treatments and control strategies for viral diseases. CHV1 employs a sophisticated counter‐defense mechanism in its fungal host by utilizing a viral silencing suppressor to inhibit fungal FMN reductase; thereby modulating ...

Hunger and Repression: Pre‐Departure Experiences and PTSD Risk Among Venezuelans in the United States and Colombia

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 35, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Venezuela's national collapse has been one of the most remarkable in recent history. Marked by widespread scarcity, deep poverty, and persistent concerns about authoritarian governance, the crisis has prompted the emigration of ~8 million people since 2015—more than 25% of the once‐prosperous nation's population.

Breeding for quantitative disease resistance: Case studies, emerging approaches, and exploiting pathogen variation

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Host resistance, using qualitative genes with major effects, such as resistance (R) genes, is one of the most effective disease control strategies. However, because major gene‐derived resistance wanes over time, breeders must increasingly focus on quantitative trait loci and minor effect genes, which, when pyramided together, can confer ...

Hygrotermic Treatment of Chesnut Logs Infected with Cryphonectria parasitica

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2005
Due to the reduced availability of large-sized chestnut logs in Europe, many European timber industries currently get their supplies from non-European countries, mainly from the Caucasian region, which are often not immune to chestnut blight.

The Fungus of the Chestnut-Tree Blight

Science, 1912
causing serious injury in the eastern states was first noticed about the year 1904 in the vicinity of New York and is believed to be due to the growth of a hitherto unknown fungus described by Murrill in 1906 under the name of Diaporthe parasitica. The question naturally arises: Is the Diaporthe a native species of this country which had escaped the ...

Extending Chestnut Blight Hypovirus Host Range Within Diaporthales by Biolistic Delivery of Viral cDNA

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
Biolistic bombardment was used to successfully transform three phytopathogenic fungal species with an infectious cDNA clone of the prototypic hypovirus, CHV1-EP713, a genetic element responsible for the virulence attenuation (hypovirulence) of the ...
