Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and genetic diversity of Rosellinia spp. associated with root rot of coffee in Colombia

Bertha L. Castro, +5 more
- 03 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: Identifying isolates of Rosellinia collected from coffee and other hosts using DNA sequence comparisons of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region confirmed the role of the collected species in coffee root disease and low levels of genetic variability were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corticimorbus sinomyrti gen. et sp. nov. (Cryphonectriaceae) pathogenic to native Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Myrtaceae) in South China

ShuaiFei Chen, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: DNA sequence comparisons showed that C. sinomyrti represents a previously undescribed genus and species in the Cryphonectriaceae, and field inoculations showed that it is highly pathogenic to R. tomentosa trees, with the ability to kill inoculated branches within 4 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel ophiostomatalean fungi from galleries of Cyrtogenius africus (Scolytinae) infesting dying Euphorbia ingens

Johannes Alwyn van der Linde, +4 more
- 03 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: Fungi belonging to the Ophiostomatales were identified based on morphology and comparison of sequence data for the β-tubulin, ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and LSU gene regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foliicolous dematiaceous hyphomycetes from Syzygium cordatum

Pedro W. Crous, +2 more
- 01 Feb 1995 - 
TL;DR: During a study of foliicolous fungi on Syzygium cordatum in South Africa, several previously undescribed or unreported fungi were collected, resulting in the description of two new species of Anungitea, and four new taxa are described from leaf litter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mating strategy and mating type distribution in six global populations of the Eucalyptus foliar pathogen Teratosphaeria destructans.

Minette Havenga, +11 more
- 01 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: The uneven distribution of mating types in populations of T. destructans and the presence of only an asexual state on infected tissues suggests the absence of or at least a minor role for sexual reproduction where the pathogen occurs on non-native Eucalyptus in plantations.
