A TALE-inspired computational screen for proteins that contain approximate tandem repeats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors (TALEs) are bacterial proteins that are secreted from bacteria to plant cells to act as transcriptional activators.

Metabolic convergence on TOR signaling in the chestnut blight fungus and its regulation by host plant signals

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed model of metabolic convergence on the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway in Cryphonectria parasitica. Twelve core genes involved in diverse metabolic pathways act as upstream regulators or downstream effectors of TOR kinase. Dysregulation of these genes mimics an inhibited TOR state, leading to restricted hyphal growth and enhanced trehalose ...

Extra- and Intracellular Laccases of the Chestnut Blight Fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1993
A double-stranded RNA virus of the chestnut blight pathogen, Cryphonectria parasitica , has been shown previously to reduce accumulation of mRNAs of extracellular laccase (laccase A) produced by this fungus. Both extra- and intracellular laccases have been detected after growth of the fungus in liquid culture.

Can Airborne eDNA Be Used to Assess the Impacts of Invasive Species on Biodiversity?

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
We sequenced airborne eDNA to target plant and arthropod communities in woodlands with an invasive forest pest present and woodlands with no known infestations. We did not find differences in plant communities; however, we found site differences in the arthropod communities between the infested and non‐infested sites.

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 575-587, November 2026.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

Transmissible Mitochondrial Hypovirulence in a Natural Population of Cryphonectria parasitica

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
A cytoplasmically transmissible hypovirulence syndrome has been identified in virus-free strains of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica isolated from healing cankers on American chestnut trees in southwestern Michigan.

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 996-1019, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Infection of Two Heterologous Mycoviruses Reduces the Virulence of Valsa mali, a Fungal Agent of Apple Valsa Canker Disease

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Mycovirus infection has been widely shown to attenuate the virulence of phytopathogenic fungi. Valsa mali is an agriculturally important fungus that causes Valsa canker disease in apple trees.

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 843-860, October 2026.
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

Estimation of the outcrossing rate in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]

Heredity, 1993
The outcrossing rate in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria (Endothia) parasitica, was estimated in a natural population using data from six unlinked restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci and DNA fingerprinting. This fungus was shown to have a mixed mating system with both self-fertilization and outcrossing in the same population ...
