Pine wilt disease: A global threat to forestry
Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1026-1041, June 2024.This review describes the global impact, biology and management of pine wilt disease and includes interviews with those directly involved in tackling the problem in Portugal. Abstract Pines are the most economically important trees in the world and, together with eucalyptus, they dominate commercial forests. But the success of a relatively small number

Ultrasonic phytosanitation of pinewood nematode infected wood
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2016 Pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) mortality was investigated after ultrasonic treatment at 20 and 40 kHz frequency. Experiments were conducted with infected small wood specimens that were ultrasonically treated for 1, 3, 5 and 7 hours and ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2024.Mountain pine beetles threaten North American pine forests by causing widespread tree mortality through mass aggregation on host trees. The current study demonstrates exposed beetle–fungal symbiont pairs to manipulated CO2, O3 and humidity levels, finding that lower humidity favoured beetle reproduction and fungal growth, while elevated CO2 accelerated

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.In a diagnostics framework, metabarcoding of single, universal molecular barcodes does not discriminate accurately enough for many groups of important fungal phytopathogens at the required species level. In this study, a modular, multi‐barcode amplicon sequencing pipeline was established to provide rapid and reliable diagnostics targeting the ...

Bacterial microbiota protect an invasive bark beetle from a pine defensive compound
Microbiome, 2018 Background There is growing evidence that some devastating biotic invasions are facilitated by microbial symbionts. The red turpentine beetle (RTB), an innocuous secondary insect attacking weakened trees in North America, has formed an invasive complex ...
