Disease emergence in northern and boreal forests has been mostly due to tree-pathogen encounters lacking a co-evolutionary past. However, outbreaks involving novel interactions of the host or pathogen with environment have less well documented. Following an increase records Northern Europe, first large outbreak Diplodia sapinea on Pinus sylvestris was discovered Sweden 2016. By reconstructing development epidemic, we found that attacks started approx. 10 years back from several isolated...
Pines are major components of native forests and plantations in Europe, where they have both economic significance an important ecological role. Diseases pines mainly caused by fungal oomycete pathogens, can significantly reduce the survival, vigor, yield individual trees entire stands or plantations. Pine pitch canker (PPC), Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg O’Donnell), is among most devastating pine diseases world, example emergent invasive disease Europe. The effects microbial interactions...
The import and export of tree seed carries with it risks inadvertent introduction pests pathogens to hitherto unaffected regions. Although trade in specified trees is regulated, phytosanitary requirements for most species are minimal, even those related the important forest a given region. A better understanding microbiome associated intended commercial production or ornamental use, their potential risk transport from source origin distributors, will help regulatory agencies implement...
Abstract Purpose of Review Because tree seeds have been considered a low-risk pathway for the spread plant pathogenic fungi, their international movement is not subject to strict phytosanitary regulation. However, recent studies provided scientific evidence that biosecurity risk seed trade may be as negligible assumed. This review summarises current knowledge about activity across world and seed-borne fungi highlights gaps need filled mitigate spreading pathogens via seeds. Recent Findings...
Summary Forty‐five basidiocarp specimens of Heterobasidion were collected from native Abies species in three locations western Turkey: A. nordmanniana ssp. bornmülleriana Bolu province, equi‐trojani Balikesir province and cilicica Antalya province.
