First Report of Laurel Wilt Caused by Raffaelea lauricola on Sassafras in Mississippi
Plant Disease, 2011 Laurel wilt is caused by the fungus Raffaelea lauricola T.C. Harrin., Aghayeva & Fraedrich and is lethal to redbay (Persea borbonia (L.) Spreng.), sassafras (Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees), and other species in the Lauraceae (1). The fungus is carried by the redbay ambrosia beetle (Xyleborus glabratus Eichh.), which is native to Asia. After being

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2697-2714, December 2025.Novel plant diebacks are emerging in association with reoccurring droughts in California. Field isolations and greenhouse trials show that latent pathogens and drought together, and not drought alone, cause the most severe diebacks. ABSTRACT The detection of emergent biotic and abiotic threats to plant health is challenging in an interconnected world ...

Susceptibility to Laurel Wilt and Disease Incidence in Two Rare Plant Species, Pondberry and Pondspice [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2011 Laurel wilt, caused by Raffaelea lauricola, has been responsible for extensive losses of redbay (Persea borbonia) in South Carolina and Georgia since 2003. Symptoms of the disease have been noted in other species of the Lauraceae such as the federally endangered pondberry (Lindera melissifolia) and the threatened pondspice (Litsea aestivalis ...

Proteomic insights on root and tuber crops’ response to abiotic stress—A review
Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract Root and tuber crops are a good source of food energy on a global scale, particularly in African and Asian nations. Nevertheless, these crops can be susceptible to abiotic stresses such as excessive heat, high salinity, drought, and nutrient deficiencies, which have detrimental effects on the physiological and metabolic processes of the plants,

Evaluating semiochemical‐based strategies for managing ambrosia beetles in apple orchards
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 697-706, November 2025.Abstract Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have emerged as problematic pests in Michigan apple orchards, where their cryptic lifestyle complicates effective management. This study evaluated the efficacy of semiochemical‐based repellents in mitigating beetle infestations, focusing on two key invasive species: Xylosandrus germanus ...
