A critically endangered Proteaceae in the Cape florisitic region threatened by an invasive pathogen (South African National Biodiversity Institute, 2023-03-29)BACKGROUND : Sorocephalus imbricatus (Thunb.) R.Br. is a range-restricted species endemic to the Cape Floristic Region (CFR), South Africa. It is currently classified as Critically Endangered in accordance with the IUCN ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-06-09)Lecanosticta acicola is one of the most damaging species affecting Pinus radiata plantations in Spain. Favourable climatic conditions and unknown endogenous factors of the pathogen and host led to a situation of high ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-03-29)Fungi from the Teratosphaeriaceae (Mycosphaerellales; Dothideomycetes; Ascomycota) have a wide range of lifestyles. Among these are a few species that are endolichenic fungi. However, the known diversity of endolichenic ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-06-19)Hybridization is recognized as a notable driver of evolution and adaptation, which closely related species may exploit in the form of incomplete reproductive barriers. Three closely related species of Ceratocystis (i.e., ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-04-06)Phyllosticta spp. are important pathogens of citrus plants. Several Phyllosticta species associated with Citrus species grown in China have been reported; however, the relative prevalences of individual species and the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-02)Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are obligate parasites of soil-dwelling insects and are used as biological control agents for many insect pests. These nematodes have a free-living third growth stage called infective ...
-
(BMC, 2023-11-08)A plant’s defense against pathogens involves an extensive set of phytohormone regulated defense signaling pathways. The salicylic acid (SA)-signaling pathway is one of the most well-studied in plant defense. The bulk of ...
-
(BMC, 2023-08-25)BACKGROUND : The complex systemic responses of tree species to fight pathogen infection necessitate attention due to the potential for yield protection in forestry. RESULTS : In this paper, both the localized and systemic ...
-
(Springer, 2024)Vegetatively propagated plants like yam are prone to yield losses by viruses as infection tends to build up in successive cycles of propagation. This study aimed to eliminate yam mosaic virus (YMV) from yam using an optimized ...
-
(Springer, 2023-11)Badnaviruses infecting sugarcane, collectively called sugarcane bacilliform viruses (SCBVs), are reported worldwide and are responsible for causing leaf fleck disease in sugarcane. SCBVs are genetically heterogeneous members ...
-
(Future Science Group, 2023-09-08)Technological advancements in genome sequencing, assembly and annotation platforms and algorithms that resulted in several genomic studies have created an opportunity to further our understanding of the biology of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2023-12)Introductions of natural enemies in classical biocontrol programs potentially cause genetic bottlenecks which can be detrimental for biocontrol. This can be mitigated by introducing multiple populations of a natural enemy, ...
-
(Springer, 2024-01)Fusarium brachygibbosum Padwick is a phytopathogen with a widespread distribution, infecting various host plants. In South Africa, there is a limited number of studies on the genetic diversity of fusaria, particularly in ...
-
(Annual Reviews, 2023)Society is confronted by interconnected threats to ecological sustainability. Among these is the devastation of forests by destructive non-native pathogens and insects introduced through global trade, leading to the loss ...
-
(Springer, 2023-05)No abstract available.

(American Society for Microbiology, 2024-02)The draft genome of Neonectria faginata was sequenced with Oxford Nanopore and Illumina 250 bp paired-end sequencing technologies. The assembled genome was 42.9 Mb distributed over 24 contigs, with N50 of 4.4 Mb and 98.6% ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-01)The type 6 secretion system (T6SS) of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) has implications for bacterial competition, virulence, and survival. For the broad host range pathogen, Pectobacterium brasiliense 1692, T6SS-mediated ...
-
(Nature Research, 2024)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2023-06)Austropuccinia psidii, commonly known as myrtle rust, is an obligate, biotrophic rust pathogen that causes rust disease in a broad host range of Myrtaceae species. Eucalyptus grandis, a widely cultivated hardwood Myrtaceae ...
-
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2023-06)Control of white grubs, the sporadic root-feeding larvae of scarabid beetles, is difficult due to their cryptic nature and resistance to chemical insecticides. Potential exists for the use of entomopathogenic nematodes ...
