Co-Infections by Fusarium circinatum and Phytophthora spp. on Pinus radiata: Complex Phenotypic and Molecular Interactions [PDF]
Plants, 2021 This study investigated the complex phenotypic and genetic response of Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) seedlings to co-infections by F. circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker disease, and the oomycetes Phytophthora xcambivora and P.

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 FungiMycoviruses 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.

An estimate of the potential economic impact of pine pitch canker in Australia
Australian Forestry, 2008 Summary This paper estimates the economic benefits Australian pine plantations can expect to enjoy if the pine pitch canker fungus can be prevented from entering the country at any time over the next 30 years. It presents a stochastic bioeconomic model that estimates the additional costs imposed by producer behavioural changes as the pathogen enters ...

Evaluation of genetic resistance in Pinus to pitch canker in Spain
Australasian Plant Pathology, 2012 Pitch canker is a disease that affects pines in many countries throughout the world. Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pitch canker, has recently been reported in Europe, where it is regulated as a quarantine pest. This pathogen represents a substantial threat to natural Pinus forests and plantations. To date, two mating types of F.

Response of Fungal Communities to Anthropogenic Disturbances in a Tropical Forest. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Conversion of forests to agricultural land leads to a decline in soil biodiversity and it affects the ecosystem services that they provide. The rising population around Mt. Kenya forest and an increase in demand for land and forest resources has led to deforestation. However, the impact on fungal communities remains unknown.

Factors Affecting the Distribution of Pine Pitch Canker in Northern Spain [PDF]
Forests, 2019 Fusarium circinatum is the causal agent of pine pitch canker disease (PPC), affecting Pinus species and other conifers (i.e., Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco.), forming resinous cankers on the main stem and branches and causing dieback in the terminal guide.
