Journal ArticleDOI

Fungi, including Ophiostoma karelicum sp. nov., associated with Scolytus ratzeburgi infesting birch in Finland and Russia.

Riikka Linnakoski, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2008 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of DNA sequences and morphological characterization showed that this fungus represents an undescribed taxon, described here as O. karelicum sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ophiostoma gemellus and Sporothrix variecibatus from mites infesting Protea infructescences in South Africa

Francois Roets, +4 more
- 01 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new species of Ophiostoma and a new Sporothrix spp. with affinities to ophiostomas were identified from mites associated with Protea spp in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Canker Stain: A Lethal Disease Destroying Iconic Plane Trees

Panaghiotis Tsopelas, +3 more
- 30 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: Current knowledge regarding CSD is reviewed and the dramatic and devastating nature of the disease is highlighted to highlight the risk of C. platani spreading northward in Europe and eastward to Asia in the natural and cultivated range of oriental and London plane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monophyly of the conifer species in the Ceratocystis coerulescens complex based on DNA sequence data

R.C. Witthuhn, +4 more
- 01 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: Compared isolates of C. coerulescens sensu lato and morphologically similar species, the five morphological types previously known as C. fimbriata formed a strongly-supported monophyletic group that includes all the Ceratocystis species occurring primarily on conifers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungi associated with infructescences of Protea species in South Africa, including a new species of ophiostoma

Gert Marais, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1994 - 
TL;DR: A previously undescribed Ophiostoma species is described here as O. splendens, remarkable in that it appears to be unrelated to previously isolated ophiostomatoid fungi from Protea infructescences and will form an important component in phylogenetic studies on this group of fungi.
