Distribution and population structure of the chestnut blight fungus in Romania [PDF]

Plant Protection Science, 2015
The occurrence of chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) was studied in 2011-2012 at 13 locations in the main chestnut growing areas of Romania. Infections were detected at four localities.

Canker Development and Biocontrol Potential of CHV-1 Infected English Isolates of Cryphonectria parasitica Is Dependent on the Virus Concentration and the Compatibility of the Fungal Inoculums

Viruses, 2022
Biological control of Cryphonectria parasitica fungus, causal agent of chestnut blight, by virus infection (hypovirulence) has been shown to be an effective control strategy against chestnut blight in Europe and some parts of North America.

Beyond blight: Phytophthora root rot under climate change limits populations of reintroduced American chestnut

Ecosphere, 2022
American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was functionally extirpated from eastern US forests by chestnut blight, caused by a fungus from Asia. As efforts to produce blight‐resistant American chestnut germplasm advance, approaches to reintroduce chestnut ...

The Physiological and Biochemical Responses of European Chestnut (Castanea sativa L.) to Blight Fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica (Murill) Barr)

Plants, 2021
The most important disease of European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is chestnut blight caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr which induces yield reduction in Europe and North America. This study aimed to investigate the impacts

CYP1, a hypovirus-regulated cyclophilin, is required for virulence in the chestnut blight fungus. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol, 2011
SUMMARY Cyclophilins are peptidyl‐prolyl cis–trans isomerases that are highly conserved throughout eukaryotes and are the cellular target of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA). We cloned cyp1 , a cyclophilin A‐encoding gene

Physiological variations in hypovirus-infected wild and model long-term laboratory strains of Cryphonectria parasitica

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionForest ecosystems are highly threatened by the simultaneous effects of climate change and invasive pathogens. Chestnut blight, caused by the invasive phytopathogenic fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, has caused severe damage to European ...

Interactions between invasive pests and pathogens in a native chestnut forest [PDF]

NeoBiota
The introduction in the same area of different invasive species can result in novel interactions, with unpredictable consequences. We carried out a study in Galicia (northwestern Iberian Peninsula) with the aim of clarifying the interactions between two ...

Detection of natural infection of Quercus spp. by the chestnut blight fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) in Hungary

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2002
The chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr [syn.: Endothia parasitica (Murr) Anderson] caused almost total destruction of the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) and widely spread on European chestnut (Castanea saliva) in many ...

Bark-inhabiting fungal communities of European chestnut undergo substantial alteration by canker formation following chestnut blight infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundChestnut forests are severely threatened by chestnut blight caused by the fungal pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica and the infected trees exhibit bark canker in the later stage of the disease.
