Du Toit, Yves; Coles, Donovin William; Mewalal, Ritesh; Christie, Nanette; Naidoo, Sanushka (Frontiers Media, 2020-02-17)Many pests and pathogens threaten Eucalyptus plantations. The study of defense responses in this economically important wood and fiber crop enables the discovery of novel pathways and genes, which may be adopted to improve ...

Christie, Nanette; Tobias, Peri A.; Naidoo, Sanushka; Kulheim, Carsten (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-01-12)Eucalyptus grandis is a commercially important hardwood species and is known to be susceptible to a number of pests and pathogens. Determining mechanisms of defense is therefore a research priority. The published genome ...

Tobias, Peri A.; Christie, Nanette; Naidoo, Sanushka; Guest, David I.; Kulheim, Carsten (Oxford University Press, 2017-05)Eucalyptus grandis (W. Hill ex Maiden) is an Australian Myrtaceae tree grown for timber in many parts of the world and for which the annotated genome sequence is available. Known to be susceptible to a number of pests and ...

Terpenes associated with resistance against the gall wasp, Leptocybe invasa, in Eucalyptus grandis Naidoo, Sanushka; Christie, Nanette; Acosta, Juan J.; Mphahlele, Makobatjatji M.; Payn, Kitt G.; Myburg, Alexander Andrew; Külheim, Carsten (Wiley, 2018-08)Leptocybe invasa is an insect pest causing gall formation on oviposited shoot tips and leaves of Eucalyptus trees leading to leaf deformation, stunting, and death in severe cases. We previously observed different constitutive ...
