Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker (PPC), is currently one most important threats Pinus spp. globally. This pathogen known in many pine-growing regions, including natural and planted forests, can affect all life stages trees, from emerging seedlings to mature trees. Despite importance PPC, global distribution F. circinatum poorly documented, this problem also true hosts within countries that are affected. The aim study was review with a particular focus on Europe. We...
European forests are threatened by increasing numbers of invasive pests and pathogens. Over the past century, Lecanosticta acicola, a foliar pathogen predominantly Pinus spp., has expanded its range globally, is in impact. acicola causes brown spot needle blight, resulting premature defoliation, reduced growth, mortality some hosts. Originating from southern regions North American, it devastated USA's states early twentieth 1942 was discovered Spain. Derived Euphresco project...
Fungal infections are the main cause of emerging infectious diseases in forest trees. Over past decades, number invasive fungal pathogens Europe has increased exponentially. In this paper causing most common pines like Dothistroma needle blight, brown spot Lophodermium cast, Scots pine blister rust, Scleroderris canker, and Pitch canker were analyzed. These defoliation, increase susceptibility plants to other pests, tree mortality can also occur. As a result, industry is suffering severe...
Abstract Lecanosticta acicola is a pine needle pathogen causing brown spot blight that results in premature shedding with considerable damage described North America, Europe, and Asia. Microsatellite mating type markers were used to study the population genetics, migration history, reproduction mode of pathogen, based on collection 650 isolates from 27 countries 26 hosts across range L. . The presence Georgia was confirmed this study. Migration analyses indicate there have been several...
Abstract Dothistroma needle blight (DNB) caused by the ascomycetous fungus septosporum is an important pine disease in Europe. In this study, we determined distribution and abundance of D. local Scots forests plantations Lithuania neighbouring Belarus combining morphological observations molecular tools. This first valid report on occurrence Belarus, based detailed morpho‐cultural characteristics. Currently, both countries only asexual stage found needles native various ornamental exotic...
Abstract The presence of quarantine pathogen Lecanosticta acicola, the causal agent brown spot needle blight, was confirmed using molecular methods for first time in northern part Poland on coastal area adjacent to Baltic Sea. This includes sandy beaches, where Pinus mugo and P. sylvestris were planted. Symptomatic needles collected 2017 from 20 trees growing one stand Ustka. Typical symptoms blight infection, including dead tips central zones with yellow or reddish brown, circular spots...
Abstract Brown spot needle blight, a disease of pine trees caused by the pathogenic fungus Lecanosticta acicola , has been known in Lithuania since 2009 and Poland 2014, but data on distribution population genetics this pathogen were lacking. In order to investigate genetic diversity, structure reproductive mode L . 93 isolates isolated from Pinus mugo needles 2017–2019 analysed using 11 microsatellite two mating‐type markers. This study revealed 47 unique multilocus haplotypes among all...
Pine pitch canker, caused by the ascomycete Fusarium circinatum, poses a substantial threat to pine trees and Douglas firs (Pseudotsuga menziesii), has been identified as pervasive issue in forests nurseries worldwide, particularly regions where susceptible conifers are cultivated. Given its prevalence Iberian Peninsula, assessments of susceptibility diverse European provenances Scots (Pinus sylvestris)—specifically those from Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine—have conducted. Preliminary...
