Methods for quantifying rain-splash dispersal of Neonectria ditissima conidia in apple canopies [PDF]
Frontiers in Horticulture, 2023 Many microorganisms can be dispersed by rain-splash, whereby spores become suspended in water and are spread via droplets. The resulting dispersal gradient is dependent on several factors including rainfall intensity, the nature of the plant canopy and ...

A comparison of new and existing rootstocks to reduce canker of apple trees caused by Neonectria ditissima (Nectriaceae, Hypocreales) [PDF]
CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2023 The grafting of apple rootstocks on to scions confers benefits including reduced tree size/dwarfing for trellis based growing systems, increased tolerance to physiological stress, and pest and disease management. The current study investigated the effect

The interplay between scion genotype, root microbiome, and Neonectria ditissima apple canker. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol EcolSeverity of European apple canker caused by Neonectria ditissima can vary between locations and apple genotypes. We investigated how location, cold storage/planting season, and apple scion genotype affect root-associated microbial communities ...

Apple rootstocks may become infected by Neonectria ditissima during propagation
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018 Introduction and purpose: The ability of apple rootstocks to become infected by Neonectria ditissima, the cause of European canker, was studied over two years.

Assessment of diversity and genetic relationships of Neonectria ditissima: the causal agent of fruit tree canker. [PDF]
Hereditas, 2016 BACKGROUND: Neonectria ditissima is one of the most important fungal pathogens of apple trees, where it causes fruit tree canker. Information about the amount and partitioning of genetic variation of this fungus could be helpful for improving orchard ...

Differences in the seasonal development of perithecia by Neonectria ditissima on apple trees across Northern Europe [PDF]
European journal of plant pathologyAscospores discharged at rainfall and dispersed by wind can provide long-distance spread of the European canker fungus, Neonectria ditissima. Ascospores are produced by perithecia which are the sexual reproductive stage.
