Genome-Wide Analysis of Secondary Metabolite Gene Clusters in Ophiostoma ulmi and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi Reveals a Fujikurin-Like Gene Cluster with a Putative Role in Infection [PDF]
The emergence of new microbial pathogens can result in destructive outbreaks, since their hosts have limited resistance and pathogens may be excessively aggressive.

Comparative Analysis of Transcriptomes of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi ssp. americana Colonizing Resistant or Sensitive Genotypes of American Elm [PDF]
The Ascomycete Ophiostoma novo-ulmi threatens elm populations worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenicity and virulence are still largely uncharacterized. As part of a collaborative study of the O.

An Ammonium Transporter Gene Contributes to the Aggressiveness of the Dutch Elm Disease Pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi [PDF]
Molecular mechanisms determining pathogenicity of the Dutch elm disease fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi are poorly understood. Prior identification of the pathogenicity locus pat1 prompted a chromosome walking approach to elucidate gene function in this ...

Ophiostoma babimostense and Sporothrix europaea (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales), two new ophiostomatalean species, associated with ambrosia and bark beetles in Norway and Poland [PDF]
The order Ophiostomatales includes many species important for forestry, causing plant diseases. They are common associates of bark- and wood-dwelling beetles. Two new ophiostomatalean fungi viz. Ophiostoma babimostense sp. nov. and Sporothrix europaea sp.

Ulmus minor response to Dutch elm disease: de novo transcriptome assembly and annotation [PDF]
Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by Ophiostoma novo-ulmi (ONU), has devastated elm populations across Europe and North America since the 20th century. In this work, a de novo transcriptome assembly of Ulmus minor in response to ONU is presented.

Deciphering the Genome-Wide Transcriptomic Changes during Interactions of Resistant and Susceptible Genotypes of American Elm with Ophiostoma novo-ulmi [PDF]
Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by Ophiostoma novo-ulmi (Onu), is a destructive disease of American elm (Ulmus americana L.). The molecular mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility against DED in American elm are still largely uncharacterized.

Microbiome analysis and epigenetic patterns revealed distinct differences between two elm species with contrasting Dutch elm disease resistance [PDF]
Background Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, has devastated elm species in Europe and North America for over a century. While the Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia) frequently displays notable resistance to DED, the European
