J. P. van der Walt,Michael J. Wingfield,M. T. Smith,M. T. Smith,W. H. Batenburg-Van Der Vegte,W. H. Batenburg-Van Der Vegte +5 more
TL;DR: The presence ofSeptal micropores or plasmadesmal canals have been observed in two species of the lipomycetaceous genus Zygozyma and the presence of these canals is considered as further evidence for the connexion between the LipomyCetaceae and the Dipodascaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
High genetic diversity of Fusarium circinatum associated with the first outbreak of pitch canker on Pinus patula in South Africa
TL;DR: This is the first record globally of pitch canker on P. patula trees in managed plantations, and both mating types of F. circinatum were present, but no evidence of sexual recombination was inferred from population genetic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology, incidence and host susceptibility of Pineus boerneri (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) in Colombian pine plantations
Carlos A. Rodas,Rubén Serna,Maria D Bolaños,Ginna M. Granados,Michael J. Wingfield,Brett Phillip Hurley +5 more
TL;DR: Investigations of its life cycle and infestation levels as well as host susceptibility of the main Pinus species planted in Colombia showed that Pineus boerneri in Colombia has an anholocyclic life cycle comprised of four instars with a complete duration of between 49 and 97 d.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomy and phylogeny of the Leptographium olivaceum complex (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota), including descriptions of six new species from China and Europe.
Mingliang Yin,Mingliang Yin,Michael J. Wingfield,Xudong Zhou,Riikka Linnakoski,Z. Wilhelm de Beer +5 more
TL;DR: The aims of this study were to reconsider the delineation of known species, and to confirm the identity of several additional isolates resembling L. olivacea that have emerged from recent surveys in China, Finland, Poland, Russia, and Spain.
Journal ArticleDOI
