-
(Elsevier, 2024)For maize, a staple food in South Africa, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge on the mycotoxin-producing fungal diversity. In this study, a fungal community profile was established using culture-dependent methods ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-08)Amaranthus hybridus L. is a major weed for summer crops. Although A. hybridus has been a known crop weed in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) for a long time, herbicide resistance has not been a problem. Nevertheless, A. ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-07)A virus discovery investigation using high-throughput sequencing in sugarcane samples from Ethiopia revealed the presence of sugarcane mild mosaic virus (SCMMV, genus Ampelovirus) and sugarcane umbra-like virus (SULV, genus ...
-
(Biophysical Society, 2024-09)We present Full SMS, a multipurpose graphical user interface (GUI)-based software package for analyzing single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) data. SMS typically delivers multiparameter data—such as fluorescence brightness, ...
-
(Springer, 2024)Botryosphaeriaceae species are important latent pathogens causing diseases on trees utilized in forestry and agriculture. In recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence and severity of branch dieback and ...
-
(MDPI, 2024-08)The global antibiotic resistance crisis, driven by overuse and misuse of antibiotics, is multifaceted. This study aimed to assess the microbiological and genetic characteristics of raw retail pork meat through various ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2023-10-12)The Leotiomycetes is a hugely diverse group of fungi, accommodating a wide variety of important plant and animal pathogens, ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, as well as producers of antibiotics. Despite their importance, the ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2023-02-21)Outbreaks of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) have decimated millions of hectares of conifer forests in Europe in recent years. The ability of these 4.0 to 5.5 mm long insects to kill mature trees over a ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-11)Gonipterus sp. n. 2 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is an invasive, commercially important weevil that causes large‐scale defoliation of Eucalyptus trees. The weevil specifically feeds on young leaves and new shoots, thus ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-05)Fusarium circinatum poses a threat to both commercial and natural pine forests. Large variation in host resistance exists between species, with many economically important species being susceptible. Development of resistant ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-01)The king protea (Protea cynaroides), an early-diverging eudicot, is the most iconic species from the Megadiverse Cape Floristic Region, and the national flower of South Africa. Perhaps best known for its iconic flower ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-01)To improve our understanding of genetic mechanisms underlying complex traits in plants, a comprehensive analysis of gene variants is required. Eucalyptus is an important forest plantation genus that is highly outbred. Trait ...
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023)No abstract available.
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-03)Calonectria leaf blight caused by Calonectria spp. is among the most serious diseases affecting the health and sustainability of Eucalyptus plantations in southern China. Recent outbreaks of this disease in GuangDong ...
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-05)Shoot and leaf blight caused by Teratosphaeria destructans is one of the most devastating foliar diseases on Eucalyptus. Therefore, breeding for resistance to this disease is considered urgent. Differences in susceptibility ...
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-10)The pine pitch canker pathogen Fusarium circinatum is endemic in the southeastern United States and Central America and represents an invasive threat globally. This ecologically adaptable fungus readily infects all parts ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2024)Litylenchus crenatae mccannii is a foliar nematode that causes severe damage to beech, known as beech leaf disease (BLD). Previous studies have characterized and identified L. crenataein Japan and a subspecies L. crenatae ...
-
(Naturalis Biodiversity Center & Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, 2023-11-27)Species in Diaporthe have broad host ranges and cosmopolitan geographic distributions, occurring as endophytes, saprobes and plant pathogens. Previous studies have indicated that many Diaporthe species are associated with ...
-
(Naturalis Biodiversity Center & Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, 2023-12-22)The genus Podaxis was first described from India by Linnaeus in 1771, but several revisions of the genus have left the taxonomy unclear. Forty-four Podaxis species names and nine intraspecific varieties are currently accepted, ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-03-20)The high organic content of abattoir-associated process water provides an alternative for low-cost and non-invasive sample collection. This study investigated the association of microbial diversity from an abattoir ...
