Genome-wide identification and characterization of Fusarium circinatum-responsive lncRNAs in Pinus radiata

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2022
Background One of the most promising strategies of Pine Pitch Canker (PPC) management is the use of reproductive plant material resistant to the disease.

Short communication: Effect of mycoviruses on growth, spore germination and pathogenicity of the fungus Fusarium circinatum

open access: yesForest Systems, 2018
Aim of the study: To assess the impact on two mycoviruses recently described in F. circinatum mitovirus 1, and 2-2 (FcMV1 and FcMV2-2) on i) mycelial growth, ii) spore germination and iii) relative necrosis.

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

Mycochemical Diversity and Therapeutic Potential of Hymenochaetoid Fungi from Central Asia: Regional and Global Perspectives

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Central Asia harbors a rich yet understudied assemblage of wood‐inhabiting Hymenochaetoid fungi. This review delivers the first comprehensive synthesis of 43 poroid species representing 18 genera documented across montane forests, steppes, and xeric habitats.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

An Artificial Inoculation Protocol for Greenhouse Resistance Screening of Loblolly Pine Seedlings Against Brown Spot Needle Blight

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungal pathogen Lecanosticta acicola, has been rapidly increasing in incidence and severity on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), the most dominant and commercially important pine species in the southeastern United States.

The pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum : implications for South African forestry [PDF]

open access: yesSouthern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science, 2011
Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pitch canker of mature pines and root/collar rot of pine seedlings/cuttings, has resulted in large-scale losses to pine forestry in various parts of the world. The disease caused by this fungus is now regarded as one of the most important threats to pine plantations by a pathogen.

Interaction Between Pinus Species and Foliar Fungal Pathogens: Similar Symptoms, Contrasting Physiology

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Lecanosticta acicola and Dothistroma septosporum trigger similar symptoms; host responses diverge sharply: Pinus pinea mounts robust defences, P. pinaster remains vulnerable, and P. radiata sustains growth. These contrasting strategies highlight species‐specific resilience and provide key insights for sustainable forest protection.

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Transcriptomics technologies and their potential for pine pitch canker management

open access: yes, 2022
Pine pitch canker (PPC) is a serious disease of Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga menziesii globally. The infection of its causal agent, Fusarium circinatum, causes pitch or resin-soaked cankers on trunks and lateral branches of mature hosts, which may eventually die due to girdling or stem breakage.
