dc.description.abstract |
Chrysoporthe austroafricana (Cryphonectriaceae) is a damaging canker pathogen on
Eucalyptus species in Southern Africa. Recent studies have shown that the fungus
occurs on native Syzygium species and that it has apparently undergone a host range
expansion from these native trees to infect non-native Eucalyptus. The aim of this
study was to consider whether C. austroafricana and other Cryphonectriaceae might
exist as endophytes in native Myrtaceae, providing a source of inoculum to infect
non-native Myrtales. Healthy branches were collected from Myrtaceae in Mozambique, incubated in florist foam, allowed to dry gradually and monitored for
the appearance of fruiting bodies resembling species in the Cryphonectriaceae.
Isolates were identified based on DNA sequence data. Two species in the
Cryphonectriaceae were obtained, representing the first evidence that species in the
Cryphonectriaceae occur as endophytes on native Myrtales, thus providing a source of
inoculum to infect non-native and susceptible trees. This has important implications
regarding the movement of planting stock used by ornamental tree and forestry
enterprises. |
