Mycoviruses as Biocontrol Agents: Potential Applications for Managing Pests and Diseases of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production faces a wide range of biotic threats. Pests typically pose a greater threat than diseases to oilseed rape, yet both vary considerably across the major cultivating regions. Management strategies often rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides which may have harmful effects on the environment, thus ...

Changes in VOCs from a chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica by a hypovirus infection: mycoviral infection alters fungal smell for insect vectors

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background The chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, and its Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) comprise a useful model system to study fungus–virus interactions.

Characterisation and pathogenicity of Cryphonectria parasitica on sweet chestnut and sessile oak trees in Serbia

Plant Protection Science, 2019
The presence of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) M.E. Barr was studied in six natural and planted stands of sweet chestnut in Serbia. The fungus was detected on the sweet chestnut in five localities and on the sessile oak in one locality.

Evaluating the long-term storage of Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]

, 2013
Isolates of the Chestnut blight pathogen, Cryphonectria parasitica, from six populations in Michigan, were stored in the late 1990s as agar plugs of mycelium in vials of sterile water held at room temperature.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Silencing of Kex2 Significantly Diminishes the Virulence of Cryphonectria parasitica

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009
Cryphonectria parasitica is the causal agent of chestnut blight. Infection of this ascomycete with Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) results in reduction of virulence and sporulation of the fungus.

Strengthening Predictive Models for Wheat Stem Rust Infection Risk in a Changing Climate: Gaps and Opportunities

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Here we review environmental data underpinning epidemiological models for wheat stem rust, highlighting gaps that, once addressed, would significantly enhance the predictive power of these tools. ABSTRACT Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a major global fungal pathogen that causes stem rust of wheat (Triticum spp.) (the primary and principal ...
