RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Variation in secondary metabolite synthesis in lodgepole pine (pinus contorta) as a defence against Dothistroma septosporum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Dothistroma septosporum Dorog. Morelet is an emergent fungal pathogen of pine responsible for increasingly severe and widespread damage in British Columbia. Native lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var.

An Artificial Inoculation Protocol for Greenhouse Resistance Screening of Loblolly Pine Seedlings Against Brown Spot Needle Blight

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungal pathogen Lecanosticta acicola, has been rapidly increasing in incidence and severity on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), the most dominant and commercially important pine species in the southeastern United States.

Biology, Detection, and Management of Lecanosticta acicola: Emerging Challenges for the Management of Brown Spot Needle Blight in Pine Forests

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both natural forests and commercial plantations. Although L.

Stumping to Reduce Impacts of Tomentosus Root Disease: 28 Years Later, Was It Worth the Effort?

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Stump removal has been used to control impacts from other root diseases but to the best of our knowledge our study is the first to report long‐term results of stumping to control Tomentosus root disease. Tomentosus root disease (Onnia tomentosa) causes root and butt rot and is the dominant pathogen of interior spruce (Picea engelmanni × Picea ...

Interaction Between Pinus Species and Foliar Fungal Pathogens: Similar Symptoms, Contrasting Physiology

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Lecanosticta acicola and Dothistroma septosporum trigger similar symptoms; host responses diverge sharply: Pinus pinea mounts robust defences, P. pinaster remains vulnerable, and P. radiata sustains growth. These contrasting strategies highlight species‐specific resilience and provide key insights for sustainable forest protection.

Incorporating climate change into pest risk models for forest pathogens: a role for cold stress in an era of global warming?

open access: yesNeoBiota, 2013
Climate change may alter the distribution and activity of native and alien pathogens that infect trees and, in severe cases, cause tree death. In this study, potential future changes in climate suitability are investigated for three forest pathogens that

New problems in dendropathology – new and invasive pathogens

open access: yesMetsanduslikud Uurimused, 2017
During the last decades, several new and invasive tree pathogens have arrived in the northern Europe, damaging forest and verdant trees. New and invasive species (e.g.

New Hosts for Lecanosticta acicola and Dothistroma septosporum in Spain

open access: yes, 2019
The largest impact of needle diseases in the recorded history of Pinus radiata and Pinus nigra plantations in the North of Spain, was from 2018 to 2019. The severity of the disease has led to a serious reconsideration of forest management in the area.
