Demographic and genetic factors affect the use of translocation for evolutionary rescue: A case study of American chestnut using simulation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
These findings underscore the importance, complexity and flexibility of strategic translocations for ensuring the recovery of plant species limited by adaptive genetic diversity. Abstract For many plant species at risk, recovery depends on supplementing populations with adaptive genetic diversity through translocations but specific introduction ...

Optimal strategies for utilizing host plant distributions to slow the spread of plant pests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Containment of invasive species can be made markedly more cost‐effective by prioritizing landscape features that naturally impede spread. Targeting treatments around host‐plant gaps supports a clear operational rule: use mating disruption where densities are low to prevent establishment and concentrate pesticides where densities are high to suppress ...

Various Population Structures of Cryphonectria parasitica in Cáceres (Spain) Determine the Feasibility of the Biological Control of Chestnut Blight with Hypovirulent Strains

Agronomy, 2023
Chestnut blight, caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, is a severe disease that may be biologically controlled by the use of hypovirulent strains, but the diversity of the pathogen population affects biocontrol feasibility.

Functionality Enhancement of Pullulan‐Based Composites for Food Packaging Applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary research in food packaging is focused on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based materials. Pullulan, a microbial biopolymer traditionally employed as a food additive, is harnessing interest for food packaging applications due to its exceptional film‐forming ability, biodegradability, and nontoxic nature.

Effect of origin and morphological characteristics of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) seedlings on the development of Cryphonectria parasitica

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry
The presence of Cryphonectria parasitica on sessile oak (Quercus petraea) requires comprehensive research to understand how this fungus spreads. An experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of C. parasitica on different sessile oak stands.

Distribution and population structure of the chestnut blight fungus in Romania

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.

Chrysoporthe cubensis‐Induced Wilting in Eucalypt Mini‐Stumps: In Vitro Fungus and Disease Development

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Chrysoporthe cubensis was reported to cause wilting that later progressed to dieback and death in eucalypt mini‐stumps. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of various factors on the in vitro development of C. cubensis and to reproduce the wilting symptoms in eucalypt following artificial inoculation. Conidial production by C.

Mixed Impacts of the Mycovirus Fusarium Culmorum Phenuivirus 1 on Fusarium culmorum: Laboratory and In Planta Investigations

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Fusarium culmorum phenuivirus 1 caused no changes in laboratory‐based assays and shows mild hypovirulence in a susceptible wheat cultivar under semifield conditions. It is highly transmissible both via spores and hyphal contact. ABSTRACT The mycovirus Fusarium culmorum phenuivirus 1 (FcPV1) infects the wheat pathogen Fusarium culmorum, a causal agent ...

Situation of damage caused by Cryphonectria parasitica to forest stands and orchards of Castanea sativa by 2001 in Slovakia

Horticultural Science, 2004
In the present paper the knowledge of evaluation of the health condition of Castanea sativa (Mill.) in forest stands was summarised. It was found out that the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr damaged the coppices until 60 years.
