Journal ArticleDOI
Shot hole disease on Prunus laurocerasus caused by Neofusicoccum parvum in Serbia
TL;DR: This paper aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, which aims to provide a global network of nurseries as early warning system against alien tree pests.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Leptographium species from Indonesia and Eastern North America
TL;DR: Comparison with knownLeptographium species has revealed that the isolates from Indonesia and those from Eastern North America represent three previously undescribed taxa, which are, therefore, described in this study asL.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new Ophiostoma species from loblolly pine roots in the southeastern United States
TL;DR: During the course of a survey of fungi in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) roots in Georgia, USA, a species of Ophiostoma morphologically similar to O. pluriannulatum, which was isolated, was isolated and described as O. sparsiannULatum sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
The novel Huntiella omanensis mating gene, MAT1-2-7, is essential for ascomatal maturation

TL;DR: It is shown that MAT1-2-7 is essential for sexual reproduction and that isolates carrying the truncatedMAT1- 2-7 gene are incapable of ascomatal maturation and further sexual development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique patterns of mating pheromone presence and absence could result in the ambiguous sexual behaviors of Colletotrichum species.
TL;DR: The multiple losses of the pheromone genes in Colletotrichum species suggest strong selection against the typical mating strategies seen in other species and that the species of this genus have undiscovered mechanisms by which to control mating type and mating partner recognition.
