Journal ArticleDOI
Population structure and diversity of an invasive pine needle pathogen reflects anthropogenic activity.
TL;DR: The global population diversity and structure of 458 isolates of D. septosporum from 14 countries on six continents using microsatellite markers was determined and reflected the anthropogenic history of the introduction and establishment of plantation forestry, particularly with Pinus radiata.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing of selected South African Pinus hybrids and families for tolerance to the pitch canker pathogen, Fusarium circinatum
TL;DR: The work described here provides valuable information on an artificial inoculation technique that will assist the industry in screening trees for tolerance to the pitch canker fungus, F. circinatum, which threatens pine forestry in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of the Eucalyptus canker pathogen Chrysoporthe cubensis on native Miconia (Melastomataceae) in Colombia
Carlos A. Rodas,Marieka Gryzenhout,Henrietta Myburg,Brenda D. Wingfield,Michael J. Wingfield +4 more
TL;DR: F fungi with fruiting structures similar to those of C. cubensis were found on native Miconia theaezans andMiconia rubiginosa, both members of the Melastomataceae, and pathogenicity of these fungi was assessed on various Melastamataceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and evolution of the Fusarium mating type locus: New insights from the Gibberella fujikuroi complex
TL;DR: Evidence is found of a novel gene, MAT1-2-3, that may be specific to the Hypocreales, and the extent of both recombination and inter-specific gene-flow in the MAT locus also appears to affect the rate of divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A plant pathology perspective of fungal genome sequencing.
Janneke Aylward,Emma Theodora Steenkamp,Léanne L. Dreyer,Francois Roets,Brenda D. Wingfield,Michael J. Wingfield +5 more
TL;DR: This mini-review aims to provide an analysis of the plant pathogenic fungi for which genome sequences are publically available, to assess their general genome characteristics, and to consider how genomics has impacted plant pathology.
