The Native Hymenoscyphus albidus and the Invasive Hymenoscyphus fraxineus Are Similar in Their Necrotrophic Growth Phase in Ash Leaves [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The populations of European ash and its harmless fungal associate Hymenoscyphus albidus are in decline owing to ash dieback caused by the invasive Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, a fungus that in its native range in Asia is a harmless leaf endophyte of local ...

Fungicolous Fungi on Pseudosclerotial Plates and Apothecia of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus and Their Biocontrol Potential [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 In the present work, research tasks were carried out in the search for fungi with potential biocontrol possibilities in relation to the ash dieback pathogen, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. In the years 2012–2021, dead petioles of F.

Evolution of Thermal Plasticity in Hymenoscyphus fraxineus During Ash Dieback Expansion in Europe [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe plasticity of adaptive traits may be critical for population persistence in heterogeneous environments. However, its evolution is rarely investigated in forest pathogens, potentially limiting the accuracy of epidemic risk predictions.

Stable overexpression and targeted gene deletion of the causative agent of ash dieback Hymenoscyphus fraxineus [PDF]
Fungal Biology and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Due to the infection with the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, which has been replacing the closely related and non-pathogenic native Hymenoscyphus albidus, the European ashes, Fraxinus excelsior (also known as the common ash ...

Fungal succession in decomposing ash leaves colonized by the ash dieback pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus or its harmless relative Hymenoscyphus albidus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, originating from Asia, is currently threatening common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) in Europe, massive ascospore production from the saprotrophic phase being a key determinant of its invasiveness.MethodsTo ...

Fungal Communities in Re-Emerging Fraxinus excelsior Sites in Lithuania and Their Antagonistic Potential against Hymenoscyphus fraxineus [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Fifty-nine fungal taxa, isolated from re-emerging Fraxinus excelsior sites in Lithuania, were in vitro tested against three strains of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus on agar media to establish their biocontrol properties.

Leaf mycobiome and the success of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus in completing its life cycle depend on the canopy position of common ash [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionCommon ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is threatened by an invasive Asian-origin ash dieback pathogen, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. The pathogen establishes leaf infection with the aid of wind-borne ascospores, followed by mycelial spread from the leaf ...

Comparative analyses of the Hymenoscyphus fraxineus and Hymenoscyphus albidus genomes reveals potentially adaptive differences in secondary metabolite and transposable element repertoires [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background The dieback epidemic decimating common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) in Europe is caused by the invasive fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. In this study we analyzed the genomes of H. fraxineus and H. albidus, its native but, now essentially displaced,

Host–Pathogen Interactions in Leaf Petioles of Common Ash and Manchurian Ash Infected with Hymenoscyphus fraxineus [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Some common ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior) show tolerance towards shoot dieback caused by the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. Leaf petioles are considered to serve as a pathogen colonization route to the shoots.
