DNA sequence incongruence and inconsistent morphology obscure species boundaries in the Teratosphaeria suttonii species complex [PDF]
Teratosphaeria suttonii (=Kirramyces epicoccoides) is a leaf pathogen that can cause premature defoliation, reduced growth and vigor, and subsequent tree death of many Eucalyptus species.

Abiotic stresses such as drought change plant-pathogen interactions by affecting both hosts and pathogens. Here, we aimed to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying forest tree-pathogen interactions under drought stress and subsequent rewatering.

Aligning auxin supply to developmental demand in adventitious rooting
The dose–time program of adventitious root (AR) formation. Summary Adventitious root (AR) formation is the developmental process that makes vegetative propagation possible, underpinning forestry, horticulture, and the clonal multiplication of elite and hard‐to‐propagate genotypes.

PCR-identification of Mycosphaerella species associated with leaf diseases of Eucalyptus [PDF]
A PCR-based technique based on the ITS1-5.8s-ITS2 domain of the rRNA gene for identifying five species associated with Mycosphaerella leaf disease (MLD) of eucalypts was developed.

Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

Phylogeny, phylogeography and movement of Kirramyces spp. associated with leaf blight diseases of plantation eucalypts [PDF]
When this study commenced in early 2004, only five Phaeophleospora species. had been reported from eucalypts of which only two; P. destructans (STE-U 1336) and P. epicoccoides (STE-U 1346) had been sequenced.

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Abstract The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a major pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), causing substantial yield and quality losses in Ethiopia and worldwide. The present study evaluated the impact of tomato branch pruning and trellising on TSSM populations and yield in the Central Rift Valley tomato production area ...

The incidence, severity and possible causes of canker disease of Corymbia calophylla (marri) in the southwest of Western Australia [PDF]
The impact of a canker disease of Corymbia calophylla (marri) in the southwest of Western Australia (WA) has increased substantially since it was first observed causing decline and death of this species in the 1970s.

Ecophysiology of Eucalyptus marginata and Corymbia calophyllain decline in an urban parkland [PDF]
Eucalypt trees are in decline throughout urban landscapes of south western Australia. This study investigated the cause of decline in Eucalyptus marginata and Corymbia calophylla trees in parkland and compared water and nutrient relations with healthy ...
