Erysiphe aesculi‐sylvaticae sp. nov. Infecting North American Aesculus Species: A New Cryptic Species Provides Insights Into the Invasion Dynamics of an Important Fungal Pathogen

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aesculus is a genus of woody plant species that contains multiple ecologically and ornamentally important species. Powdery mildew is common on this host genus and is particularly virulent on the economically significant horse chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum. Previously, all Erysiphe species found on Aesculus spp.

Soil biome variation of Lupinus nipomensis in wet‐cool vs. dry‐warm microhabitats and greenhouse

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Premise Environmental DNA (eDNA) can be used to determine the composition of the soil biome community, revealing beneficial and antagonistic microbes and invertebrates associated with plants. eDNA analyses can complement traditional soil community studies, offering more comprehensive information for conservation practitioners. Studies are also

A fungal plant pathogen overcomes mlo‐mediated broad‐spectrum disease resistance by rapid gene loss

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 3, Page 962-979, November 2024.
Summary Hosts and pathogens typically engage in a coevolutionary arms race. This also applies to phytopathogenic powdery mildew fungi, which can rapidly overcome plant resistance and perform host jumps. Using experimental evolution, we show that the powdery mildew pathogen Blumeria hordei is capable of breaking the agriculturally important broad ...

Long‐term and rapid evolution in powdery mildew fungi

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 10, May 2024.
Abstract The powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphaceae) are globally distributed plant pathogens with a range of more than 10,000 plant hosts. In this review, we discuss the long‐ and short‐term evolution of these obligate biotrophic fungi and outline their diversity with respect to morphology, lifestyle, and host range.

Application of sandpaper spray ionization mass spectrometry to comprehensively examine maple leaves infected with distinct fungi

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 59, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract This study describes a novel application for sandpaper spray ionization mass spectrometry (SPS‐MS), to examine the surface of maple tree (Acer sp.) leaves. By comparing mass spectrometry fingerprints, healthy leaves from those infected with powdery mildew and Rhytisma acerinum were distinguished.
