  • Insect gallers and their plant hosts : from omics data to systems biology 
    Oates, Caryn Nicole; Denby, Katherine J.; Myburg, Alexander Andrew; Slippers, Bernard; Naidoo, Sanushka (MDPI Publishing, 2016)
    Gall-inducing insects are capable of exerting a high level of control over their hosts’ cellular machinery to the extent that the plant’s development, metabolism, chemistry, and physiology are all altered in favour of ...
  • The road to resistance in forest trees 
    Naidoo, Sanushka; Slippers, Bernard; Plett, Jonathan M.; Coles, Donovin; Oates, Caryn Nicole (Frontiers Media, 2019-03-29)
    In recent years, forests have been exposed to an unprecedented rise in pests and pathogens. This, coupled with the added challenge of climate change, renders forest plantation stock vulnerable to attack and severely limits ...
  • Transcriptional responses of Eucalyptus clones to the gall wasp, Leptocybe invasa 
    Oates, Caryn Nicole (University of Pretoria, 2013)
    Eucalyptus species constitute some of the most widely grown and economically important hardwood trees in global plantation forestry. This is due primarily to their remarkable growth and adaptability. Much of the initial ...
  • Transcriptome analysis of Eucalyptus grandis implicates brassinosteroid signaling in defense against myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) 
    Swanepoel, Shae; Oates, Caryn Nicole; Shuey, Louise S.; Pegg, Geoff S.; Naidoo, Sanushka (Frontiers Media, 2021-12-08)
    Eucalyptus grandis, in its native Australian range, varies in resistance to Austropuccinia psidii (syn. Puccinia psidii). The biotrophic rust fungus, A. psidii is the causal agent of myrtle rust and poses a serious threat ...
  • Uncovering the defence responses of Eucalyptus to pests and pathogens in the genomics age 
    Naidoo, Sanushka; Kulheim, Carsten; Zwart, Lizahn; Mangwanda, Ronishree; Oates, Caryn Nicole; Visser, Erik A.; Wilken, Febe E.; Mamni, Thandekile B.; Myburg, Alexander Andrew (Oxford University Press, 2014-09)
    Long-lived tree species are subject to attack by various pests and pathogens during their lifetime. This problem is exacerbated by climate change which may increase the host range for pathogens and extend the period of ...
