Journal ArticleDOI

β-Tubulin and histone H3 gene sequences distinguish Cryphonectria cubensis from South Africa, Asia, and South America

TL;DR: The results suggest that the South African fungus represents a spe- cies distinct from C. cubensis occurring elsewhere in the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity in Eucalyptus susceptibility to the gall‐forming wasp Leptocybe invasa

TL;DR: The results obtained in the present study suggest that the selection and planting of resistant/less susceptible genotypes will be an important aid in managing damage from L. invasa invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Fusarium subglutinans f. sp. pini causing root disease of Pinus patula seedlings in South Africa

TL;DR: Virulence, genetic analyses and composite RAPD data suggest that pine isolates originate from the same gene pool, and probably represent a distinct new biological species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogeny of Cryphonectria cubensis and allied species inferred from DNA analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the phylogenetic relationships among strains of C. cubensis, which causes a serious canker disease of Eucalyptus in many tropical areas of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of mechanical shelling and dehulling on Fusarium infection and fumonisin contamination in maize.

TL;DR: Mechanical dehulling methods significantly reduced fumonisin levels in maize, resulting in a mean reduction of 62% for Mini-PRL, 65% for Engelberg, and 57% for the attrition disc mill.
