Journal Article
Fungus gnats and other Diptera in South African forestry nurseries and their possible association with the pitch canker fungus
Brett Phillip Hurley,Prem Govender,Teresa A. Coutinho,Brenda D. Wingfield,Michael J. Wingfield +4 more
TL;DR: To ascertain which species of gnats are present in South African pine nurseries, and to consider whether these and other Diptera carry F. circinatum, Dipteran fauna were surveyed in four major forestry nurseries between 2000 and 2001 and fungus gnats were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
A serious canker disease caused by Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana gen. et sp. nov. (Cryphonectriaceae) on native Rapanea melanophloeos in South Africa
TL;DR: Inoculation trials showed that the fungus described here as Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana gen. et sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Armillaria species on tea in Kenya identified using isozyme and DNA sequence comparisons
Eddie Mwenje,Brenda D. Wingfield,Martin Petrus Albertus Coetzee,H. Nemato,Michael J. Wingfield +4 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to identify seven Armillaria isolates obtained from diseased tea bushes in Kenya using pectic enzyme profiles, PCR-RFLP and IGS-I DNA sequence data, and to suggest that this group is phylogenetically closely related to A. hinnulea from Australia and New Zealand.
Journal ArticleDOI
High population diversity and increasing importance of the Eucalyptus stem canker pathogen, Teratosphaeria zuluensis, in South China
ShuaiFei Chen,Irene Barnes,Donald Chungu,Jolanda Roux,Michael J. Wingfield,Yao Jian Xie,Xudong Zhou +6 more
TL;DR: The genetic diversity of three T. zuluensis populations from different regions in South China was determined using ten microsatellite markers and showed that more than one genotype of T. Zuluensis can occur on a single tree in all three populations and that a moderate to high genetic diversity exists within the populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mate-recognition and species boundaries in the ascomycetes
TL;DR: This review examines the mechanisms of sexual interaction in ascomycetes and explores current evidence as to whether these mechanisms allow for species-specificity in mate-recognition, and discusses the evolutionary forces that can drive reproductive gene divergence.
