Mixed mating in natural populations of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]

Heredity, 2004
As in plants, fungi exhibit wide variation in reproductive strategies and mating systems. Although most sexually reproducing fungi are either predominantly outcrossing or predominantly selfing, there are some notable exceptions. The haploid, ascomycete chestnut blight pathogen, Cryphonectria parasitica, has previously been shown to have a mixed mating ...

Invasion Genetics of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica in Switzerland [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 2012
Cryphonectria parasitica is the best-known example of an invasive forest pathogen in Europe. In southern Switzerland, chestnut blight was first reported in 1948 whereas, north of the Alps, it did not appear until the 1980s. Between 1995 and 2008, we sampled 640 C.

Effects of Seasonality and Climate on the Propagule Deposition Patterns of the Chestnut Blight Pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica in Orchards of the Alpine District of North Western Italy

Agriculture, 2022
Chestnut blight is the major disease of chestnuts (Castanea spp.) cultivated worldwide for the production of edible nuts. The disease is caused by the pathogenic fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, which infects trees by means of airborne propagules ...

Comparison of the transcriptomes of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) and Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) in response to the chestnut blight infection

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 ...

Identification of an RNA Silencing Suppressor Encoded by a Symptomless Fungal Hypovirus, Cryphonectria Hypovirus 4

Biology, 2021
Previously, we have reported the ability of a symptomless hypovirus Cryphonectria hypovirus 4 (CHV4) of the chestnut blight fungus to facilitate stable infection by a co-infecting mycoreovirus 2 (MyRV2)—likely through the inhibitory effect of CHV4 on RNA

Laccase Activity in Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica Is Affected by Growth Conditions and Fungal–Viral Genotypic Interactions

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Laccase activity reduction in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica usually accompanies the hypovirulence caused by the infection of fungus with Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1).

A viral gene confers hypovirulence‐associated traits to the chestnut blight fungus. [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1992
A viral double-stranded (ds)RNA associated with reduced virulence (hypovirulence) and the accompanying biological control of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, was shown recently to contain two contiguous coding domains designated ORF A and ORF B. We report here that transformation of an isogenic virulent, dsRNA-free C.

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 ...
