The evolutionary biology of fusarium oxysporum
Thomas R. Gordon,R. D. Martyn +1 more
TL;DR: Most new occurrences of Fusarium wilt appear to be the result of a recent introduction rather than an independent local origin of the pathotype, and the absence of sexual reproduction is not likely to prevent this pathogen from continuing to inflict significant damage on susceptible crop hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pitch canker caused by Fusarium circinatum — a growing threat to pine plantations and forests worldwide
Michael J. Wingfield,Almuth Hammerbacher,Rebecca J. Ganley,Emma Theodora Steenkamp,Thomas R. Gordon,Brenda D. Wingfield,Teresa A. Coutinho +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarise contemporary knowledge relating to the pitch canker pathogen, with a particular focus on its threat to plantation forestry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors advocate recognizing the genus Fusarium as the sole name for a group of species of importance in plant pathology, mycotoxicology, medicine, and basic research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium oxysporum and the Fusarium Wilt Syndrome
TL;DR: The Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) comprises a multitude of strains that cause vascular wilt diseases of economically important crops throughout the world and although sexual reproduction is unknown in the FOSC, horizontal gene transfer may contribute to the observed diversity in pathogenic strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pitch canker epidemic in California
TL;DR: Native Monterey pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) forests are currently found at three disjunct locations in coastal California and on two islands off the coast of Mexico, which are significant ecological and recreational resources, but they are also a valuable repository of useful genetic traits for improved varieties of Monterey Pine, which is widely used by the timber industry.
