Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

Alpha cinnamomin elicits a defence response against Phytophthora cinnamomi in Castanea sativa [PDF]
Phytophthora cinnamomi and P. cambivora are considered as the causal agents of Castanea sativa ink disease. These soil-borne plant pathogens invade and destroy the root system leading to the death of the trees. Most Phytophthora species secrete elicitins,

Decoding drought tolerance from a genomic approach in Castanea sativa Mill
Abstract Climate change, marked by prolonged periods of extreme summer drought coupled with heat, presents a significant challenge for chestnut forests. Genomic insight into drought tolerance in Castanea sativa is essential for enhancing the adaptation of this species to climate change.

Disease suppression of potting mixes amended with composted biowaste [PDF]
Peat mining destroys valuable nature areas and contributes to the greenhouse effect. This warrants the search for alternatives for peat in potting mixes. Composted biowaste could provide such an alternative.

ABSTRACT Kauri (Agathis australis), a tree species endemic to northern New Zealand, is threatened by kauri dieback disease, caused by the plant pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida. Some human and animal activities capable of disturbing and transferring infected soil may facilitate the spread of this pathogen.

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Leaf, tree and soil properties in a Eucalyptus saligna forest exhibiting canopy decline [PDF]
The extent of eucalypt decline in moist coastal forests of south-eastern Australia is increasing with resultant losses in biodiversity and productivity. This survey aimed to identify factors associated with the decline of Eucalyptus saligna (Sydney Blue ...

Summary Estimates of invasion risk can support prioritisation of future threats from non‐native species. Greater risk of invasion is expected when species occur in connected source regions and possess traits promoting successful transport, introduction or establishment.
