The tolerance of Pinus patula × Pinus tecunumanii, and other pine hybrids, to Fusarium circinatum in greenhouse trials
TL;DR: The field survival of Pinus patula seedlings in South Africa is frequently below acceptable standards and field studies on young trees suggest that this is due to the improved tolerance of these hybrids to F. circinatum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teratosphaeria stem canker of Eucalyptus : two pathogens, one devastating disease
TL;DR: T. gauchensis and T. zuluensis are closely related fungi that cause Teratosphaeria stem canker disease on Eucalyptus species propagated in plantations for commercial purposes, and continues to spread with the international trade of infected plant germplasm.
