(Elsevier, 2024-02)Unidirectional mating-type switching is a form of homothallic reproduction known only in a small number of filamentous ascomycetes. Their ascospores can give rise to either self-sterile isolates that require compatible ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-10)Eucalyptus spp. in plantations are negatively affected by canker and wilt diseases caused by several species of Ceratocystis, particularly those in the Latin American Clade (LAC). Ceratocystis eucalypticola and Ceratocystis ...
-
(Nature Research, 2024-06)Fungi constitute the Earth’s second most diverse kingdom, however only a small percentage of these have been thoroughly examined and categorized for their secondary metabolites, which still limits our understanding of the ...
-
(American Phytopathological Society, 2024)Eucalyptus scab and shoot malformation caused by Elsinoë necatrix is an emerging disease and a serious threat to the global commercial forestry industry. The disease was first discovered in North Sumatra, Indonesia, and ...
-
(Microbiology Society, 2023-04-21)Unprecedented insights into the biology and functions of bacteria have been and continue to be gained through studying bacterial secretion systems in isolation. This method, however, results in our understanding of the ...
-
(Springer, 2023-05)Fungi in the Cryphonectriaceae include some of the most serious pathogens of trees globally. Amongst these, species of Chrysoporthe, previously identified as Cryphonectria, are well known and important pathogens of Eucalyptus ...
-
(Wiley, 2023-01)Pitch canker on plantation-grown Pinus species, caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium circinatum, first appeared in the western and southern Cape regions of South Africa. However, outbreaks have subsequently been reported ...
-
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2024-01-01)Bathycoelia distincta is one of the most dominant stink bug pests associated with macadamia orchards in South Africa. Understanding the toxicity and sublethal effects of insecticides on this pest is essential for its ...
-
(Microbiology Society, 2023-09-07)Bradyrhizobium comprises a diverse group of bacteria with various lifestyles. Although best known for their nodule-based nitrogen-fixation in symbiosis with legumes, a select group of bradyrhizobia are also capable of ...
-
(Forest Research Institute Malaysia, 2023)Ceratocystis canker and wilt disease has had a devastating impact on plantations of Acacia mangium in Sabah, Malaysia effectively resulting in its discontinuation in the region. The immediate future of industrial tree ...
-
(Forest Research Institute Malaysia, 2023)A canker and wilt disease caused by the fungal pathogen Ceratocystis manginecans has devastated Acacia mangium plantations in Southeast Asia. The disease develops when the pathogen enters wounds of the stems of the trees. ...
-
Ceratocystis manginecans and not C. fimbriata a threat to propagated Acacia spp. in Sabah, Malaysia (Forest Research Institute Malaysia, 2023)Acacia mangium plantations in Sabah, Malaysia are seriously affected by a vascular wilt and canker disease caused by a species of Ceratocystis. A similar and devastating disease occurs in Indonesia and is caused by the ...
-
(Springer, 2024-05)The polyphagous shot hole borer beetle (PSHB, Euwallacea fornicatus) is a pest of global significance. PSHB is an ambrosia beetle which, together with its mutualistic fungi (including Fusarium euwallaceae), can cause the ...
-
(Springer, 2024)BACKGROUND : Bradyrhizobium fixes nitrogen symbiotically with soybean and is an agriculturally significant bacterium. Much is known about the Bradyrhizobium species that nodulate soybeans. Conversely, prevalence of ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-06)Sclerotinia head rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major disease limiting sunflower production in tropical and subtropical agroecological zones. Sporadic outbreaks across South Africa have resulted in major ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-08)RNA interference (RNAi) using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) against fungal pathogens is an emerging field of crop disease control. We aimed to evaluate RNAi against the fungus Cercospora zeina causing grey leaf spot (GLS) ...
-
(Springer, 2024-03)Sclerotinia stem rot on South African groundnut was previously attributed to Sclerotinia minor, but recent infections prompted a re-evaluation. Isolates underwent a species-specific PCR and phylogenetic analysis, confirming ...
-
(Wiley, 2024-06)Eucalyptus scab and shoot malformation is an emerging disease and a serious threat to the global plantation forestry industry. The disease appeared in North Sumatra (Indonesia) in the early 2010s and the causal agent was ...
