Possible biological control of ash dieback using the parasitic Hymenoscyphus fraxineus mitovirus 2?

bioRxiv, 2023
Invasive fungal diseases represent a major threat to forest ecosystems worldwide. As fungicides are often unfeasible and not a sustainable solution, only a few other control options are available, including biological control. In this context, the use of

Microbial Life Inside Posidonia Seeds: Beneficial Endophytes and Implications for Marine Plant Health

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Seagrass Posidonia oceanica seeds host diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes with plant‐growth–promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation and hormone production. These microbes may be vertically transmitted and support seedling establishment, offering insights for marine plant conservation and biotechnological applications.

Investigation of the Biocontrol Potential of Two Ash Endophytes against Hymenoscyphus fraxineus Using In Vitro Plant–Fungus Dual Cultures

Forests, 2021
Development of effective biocontrol procedures using ash endophytes to combat an ash pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus would be an appropriate contribution to the ongoing effort to protect European ash stands against ash decline.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Living with the Impact of Ash Dieback Disease – Local Mitigation Practices Against Hymenoscyphus Fraxineus on the Island of Ireland

Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, 2022
:Ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) have considerable environmental, cultural and economic value on the island of Ireland. However, the species is currently succumbing to widespread damage from the invasive fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (T.

Surveillance of ash trees under multiple threats: Integrating emerald ash borer and ash dieback dynamics with stakeholder behaviour

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tree‐health policies must balance identifying likely entry points and deployment of traps, targeted information campaigns and surveillance subsidies for land managers. Our unique, cross‐disciplinary approach can be applied to other pest/pathogen systems to inform tree‐health plans and how to balance resources.

The fungal predominance in stem collar necroses of Fraxinus excelsior: a study on Hymenoscyphus fraxineus multilocus genotypes

Journal of plant diseases and protection
Over the past decades, European ash trees in Germany have been affected by ash dieback, reducing their vigour and mechanical resistance. Those trees that also have stem collar necroses and the resulting stem rot are particularly affected.

Patterns and Drivers of Pest and Disease Occurrence in UK Treescapes

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tree pests and diseases can be very damaging to natural and commercial forests. We studied how the risk of tree pests and diseases varies across mainland Great Britain and explored how factors such as urbanisation and recreational visits affect the level of risk in different places.

Historical land use couples with host density to affect myrtle rust impacts in a wet sclerophyll forest community in Eastern Australia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Plant pathogens worldwide continue to spread outside of their native ranges into new habitats. Our results highlight the importance of investigating variable processes like land use legacy that can correlate with impacts of non‐native plant pathogens.

Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 245-258, January 2026.
Societal Impact Statement The world‐wide diversity of ash trees includes genetic information encoding resistance to the ash dieback fungus and the emerald ash borer beetle, which are currently devastating ash populations in Europe and North America. In order to mobilise this genetic diversity in conventional breeding programmes, we need to be able to ...
