Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission ratio distortion in an interspecific cross between Fusarium circinatum and Fusarium subglutinans
Lieschen De Vos,Nicolaas Albertus Van der Merwe,Michael J. Wingfield,Alexander Andrew Myburg,Brenda D. Wingfield +4 more
TL;DR: The current hypothesis to explain these observations is that the observed genome-wide segregation was caused by the high level of genomic divergence between the parental isolates, and homologous chromosomes do not align properly during meiosis, resulting in aberrant transmission of markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three new Leptographium species associated with conifer roots in the United States
TL;DR: Three new species of Leptographium were isolated from conifer roots in various parts of the United States and differ from described species both morphologically and on the basis of their allozyme banding patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree health in South Africa : retrospect and prospect
TL;DR: The problem is compounded by the accidental introduction of non-native pests and pathogens, and this has been at a rapidly increasing rate over the past three decades in South Africa as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
New species of Cylindrocladiella from plantation soils in South-East Asia
Nam Q. Pham,Irene Barnes,ShuaiFei Chen,Thu Q. Pham,Lorenzo Lombard,Pedro W. Crous,Michael J. Wingfield +6 more
TL;DR: A relatively small collection of isolates from a limited geographic sampling revealed an unexpectedly high level of Cylindrocladiella diversity suggesting that many more species in this genus await discovery in South-East Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique clones of the pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum, associated with a new disease outbreak in South Africa
TL;DR: The results suggest that the outbreak of pitch canker on P. greggii in KZN represents a separate introduction of F. circinatum into the region with important implications for managing the disease.
