A Viral RNA Silencing Suppressor Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species Levels to Induce the Autophagic Degradation of Dicer-Like and Argonaute-Like Proteins. [PDF]
Understanding the virus‐host arms race has been a fascinating topic in virology; contributing significantly to the development of treatments and control strategies for viral diseases. CHV1 employs a sophisticated counter‐defense mechanism in its fungal host by utilizing a viral silencing suppressor to inhibit fungal FMN reductase; thereby modulating ...

Mapping QTLs for blight resistance and morpho-phenological traits in inter-species hybrid families of chestnut (Castanea spp.). [PDF]
Chestnut blight (caused by Cryphonectria parasitica), together with Phytophthora root rot (caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi), has nearly extirpated American chestnut (Castanea dentata) from its native range.

Cryphonectria nitschkei chrysovirus 1 with unique molecular features and a very narrow host range [PDF]
Cryphonectria nitschkei chrysovirus 1 (CnCV1), was described earlier from an ascomycetous fungus, Cryphonectria nitschkei strain OB5/11, collected in Japan; its partial sequence was reported a decade ago.

Genome Sequence of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica EP155: A Fundamental Resource for an Archetypical Invasive Plant Pathogen [PDF]
Cryphonectria parasitica is the causal agent of chestnut blight, a fungal disease that almost entirely eliminated mature American chestnut from North America over a 50-year period. Here, we formally report the genome of C. parasitica EP155 using a Sanger shotgun sequencing approach.

Temporal changes in pathogen diversity in a perennial plant–pathogen–hyperparasite system
Abstract Hyperparasites can affect the evolution of pathosystems by influencing the stability of both pathogen and host populations. However, how pathogens of perennial hosts evolve in the presence of a hyperparasite has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated temporal changes in genetic diversity of the invasive chestnut blight pathogen ...

A metabolomic study of vegetative incompatibility in Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]
Vegetative incompatibility (VI) is a form of non-self allorecognition in filamentous fungi that restricts conspecific hyphal fusion and the formation of heterokaryons.

Abstract American chestnut was once a foundation species of eastern North American forests, but was rendered functionally extinct in the early 20th century by an exotic fungal blight (Cryphonectria parasitica). Over the past 30 years, the American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) has pursued backcross breeding to generate hybrids that combine the timber‐type

Dicer monitoring in a model filamentous fungus host, Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]
The ascomycete Cryphonectria parasitica has served as a model filamentous fungus for studying virus host interactions because of its susceptibility to diverse viruses, its genetic manipulability and the availability of many biological and molecular tools.

Use of the tetrazolium salt MTT to measure cell viability effects of the bacterial antagonist Lysobacter enzymogenes on the filamentous fungus Cryphonectria parasitica [PDF]
Despite substantial interest investigating bacterial mechanisms of fungal growth inhibition, there are few methods available that quantify fungal cell death during direct interactions with bacteria.
