Monterey pine forest made a remarkable recovery from pitch canker [PDF]

California Agriculture, 2020
Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) is a species of limited distribution, with three native populations in California. In 1986, a disease known as pitch canker, caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum, was identified as the cause of extensive mortality in ...

Pitch canker kills pines, spreads to new species and regions [PDF]

California Agriculture, 1994
The host and geographic range of the pitch canker pathogen has greatly increased since it was first discovered in California in 1986. Most significantly, it now affects many pine species, including native stands of Monterey pine, and has made a ...

Temporal and Spatial Variation in the Population Structure of Spanish Fusarium circinatum Infecting Pine Stands [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Fusarium circinatum is an introduced fungal pathogen extended to the northern regions of Spain that causes Pine Pitch Canker (PPC) disease. In this work, we analyzed the pathogen’s genetic diversity to study changes over time and space since the first ...

Effects of Thermal and Antibiotic Treatments on the Viral Accumulation of FcMV1 in Fusarium circinatum Isolates [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi, including plant pathogens. The infection of these mycoviruses is sometimes associated with impaired phenotypes of their fungal hosts, a phenomenon known as hypovirulence.

Commodity risk assessment of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride from the US. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to deliver a risk assessment on the likelihood of pest freedom from regulated EU quarantine pests, with emphasis on Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vectors Monochamus spp. of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride as proposed by the United States (US) and

Genetic Architecture Underlying Response to the Fungal Pathogen Dothistroma septosporum in Lodgepole Pine, Jack Pine, and Their Hybrids. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT In recent decades, Dothistroma needle blight (DNB), a pine tree disease caused by the fungal pathogen Dothistroma septosporum, has severely damaged lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex. Loud.) in British Columbia, Canada, and raised health concerns for jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.).

Extracting Protoplasts from Filamentous Fungi Using Extralyse, An Enzyme Used in the Wine Industry. [PDF]

Curr Protoc
Abstract The ability to extract protoplasts has contributed significantly to the study of fungi and plants. Protoplasts have historically been used to determine chromosome number via pulsed‐field electrophoresis and for the functional characterization of genes via protoplast transformation.
