Dormouse injuries predispose beech to infection byNeonectria ditissima

Forest Pathology, 2011
SummaryAfter awaking from winter hibernation, the Edible dormouse begins to feed by stripping the bark and the outer part of the xylem from the branches of both broadleaves and conifers. Natural or artificial wounds are essential for the penetration and colonisation of the tissues by the fungal pathogenNeonectria ditissima.

SCREENING OF APPLE CULTIVARS FOR RESISTANCE TO EUROPEAN CANKER, NEONECTRIA DITISSIMA

Acta Horticulturae, 2013
European canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, is a severe problem in apple production both in Sweden and in many other northern European countries. Even when applying fungicides and good horticultural practices, canker damage occurs almost yearly in nurseries and orchards. Some years, devastating outbreaks destroy numerous trees. To date,

Apple endophyte community is shaped by tissue type, cultivar and site and has members with biocontrol potential against Neonectria ditissima

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2020
This research aimed to identify factors influencing endophyte community structure in apple shoots and the bioactivity of cultured representatives against the fungal pathogen Neonectria ditissima.

Approaches for evaluation of resistance to European canker (Neonectria ditissima) in apple

Acta Horticulturae, 2016
European canker is caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima (Neonectria galligena, formerly Nectria galligena). The disease causes significant losses to apple production in Sweden and many other countries with a temperate wet climate. Application of fungicides and good horticultural practices do not prevent canker damage in nurseries and orchards ...

The use of rifampicin mutants and ERIC-PCR to track plant colonisation and in planta efficacy of bacterial biocontrol agents against Neonectria ditissima.

Journal of Applied Microbiology
AIMS Endophytic colonisation of apple shoots by bacterial endophytes with in vitro antagonism against Neonectria ditissima was evaluated. Their biocontrol activity against N. ditissima was assessed.

Resolving the status ofNeonectria ditissimain South Africa

Australasian Plant Pathology, 2010
Fruit pathogens are currently one of the main factors involved in quarantine-related market access. Unconfirmed South African records pertaining to the presence of the causative agent of European canker of apples, Neonectria ditissima, have been the cause of many disputes regarding its status as a quarantine pest in this country. To clarify this issue,

Isolation and characterization of codominant markers for the perennial canker fungal pathogen Neonectria ditissima

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009
Abstract Neonectria ditissima is a fungal pathogen native to eastern North America that causes disfiguring cankers on numerous tree species, particularly birches (Betula spp.). In order to develop control strategies, fundamental knowledge of the pathogen's reproductive and dispersal dynamics is necessary.

Temporal Dynamics of Neonectria ditissima Spore Release From Whole and Shredded Branches of ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ Apple Cultivars

Journal of Phytopathology
European canker (EC), caused by Neonectria ditissima , is one of the major threats to apple production in temperate and subtropical highland regions, where pruning residues represent an important source of inoculum.

Real-time PCR for detection and quantification, and histological characterization of Neonectria ditissima in apple trees

Trees, 2016
Key message We designed a pair of primers from a region of the β-tubulin gene to detect and quantifyNeonectria ditissimain wood of some infected apple cultivars, and optimized light microscopy to study fungal-plant interactions.
