Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomy and phylogeny of new wood- and soil-inhabiting Sporothrix species in the Ophiostoma stenoceras-Sporothrix schenckii complex.
Elsie M. de Meyer,Z. Wilhelm de Beer,Richard C. Summerbell,A. M. Moharram,G. Sybren de Hoog,Hester F. Vismer,Michael J. Wingfield +6 more
TL;DR: DNA sequence and morphological data derived in this study showed that isolates in these groups represent two novel species in the S. schenckii-O.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex patterns of global spread in invasive insects: eco-evolutionary and management consequences
Jeffrey R. Garnas,Marie-Anne Auger-Rozenberg,Alain Roques,Cleo Bertelsmeier,Michael J. Wingfield,Davina L. Saccaggi,Helen E. Roy,Bernard Slippers +7 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the role of connectivity in driving the ecology and evolution of introduced species with multiple invasive ranges has been historically underestimated and that such species are often best understood in a global context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red turpentine beetle: innocuous native becomes invasive tree killer in China.
TL;DR: The red turpentine beetle (RTB), Dendroctonus valens LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is a secondary pest of pines in its native range in North and Central America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance in banana to Fusarium wilt is associated with early up-regulation of cell wall-strengthening genes in the roots
Noëlani van den Berg,Dave K. Berger,Ingo Hein,Paul R. J. Birch,Michael J. Wingfield,Altus Viljoen +5 more
TL;DR: Quantitative RT-PCR was used to confirm up-regulation and differential expression of a number of genes throughout a time-course, following Foc infection in the tolerant GCTCV-218 when compared with susceptible cv.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two new species of Fusarium section Liseola associated with mango malformation.
H. Britz,Emma Theodora Steenkamp,Teresa A. Coutinho,Brenda D. Wingfield,Walter F. O. Marasas,Michael J. Wingfield +5 more
TL;DR: Fusarium mangiferae is conspecific with strains that were previously identified as F. subglutinans and reported to be the causal agent of malformation in mango growing areas throughout the world, and Fusarium sterilihyphosum has been isolated only from malformed mango tissue in South Africa.
