TLDR
This pathogen profile synthesizes the current understanding of B. dothidea pertaining to its distribution, host associations and role as a pathogen in managed and natural woody environments, as well as elucidating previously unknown aspects of the species, including mating and host infection strategies.

Characterization of a Botybirnavirus Conferring Hypovirulence in the Phytopathogenic Fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that BmBRV1 and Bm BRV1-BdEW220 are phylogenetically related to the genus Botybirnavirus and influences the growth of B. dothidea and confers hypovirulence to the fungal host.

Invasive Everywhere? Phylogeographic Analysis of the Globally Distributed Tree Pathogen Lasiodiplodia theobromae

TL;DR: The maximum likelihood tree of the tef1a sequence dataset was used for the initial identification of isolates for inclusion in this study, which included type and paratype strains of other Lasiodiplodia species.

What Do We Know about Botryosphaeriaceae? An Overview of a Worldwide Cured Dataset

TL;DR: This review collects and organized Botryosphaeriaceae occurrences in a single cured dataset, allowing for the first time a complete perspective on species’ global diversity, dispersion, host association, ecological niches, pathogenicity, communication efficiency of new occurrences, and new host–fungus associations.

Diversity of fungal latent pathogens and true endophytes associated with fruit trees in Uruguay

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that apple, pear, blueberry and peach healthy shoots can host many known endophytic fungi along with potential wood disease‐causing fungi that should be regarded as latent pathogens.

MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignment Software Version 7: Improvements in Performance and Usability

TL;DR: This version of MAFFT has several new features, including options for adding unaligned sequences into an existing alignment, adjustment of direction in nucleotide alignment, constrained alignment and parallel processing, which were implemented after the previous major update.

RAxML version 8: a tool for phylogenetic analysis and post-analysis of large phylogenies.

TL;DR: This work presents some of the most notable new features and extensions of RAxML, such as a substantial extension of substitution models and supported data types, the introduction of SSE3, AVX and AVX2 vector intrinsics, techniques for reducing the memory requirements of the code and a plethora of operations for conducting post-analyses on sets of trees.

MAFFT: a novel method for rapid multiple sequence alignment based on fast Fourier transform

TL;DR: A simplified scoring system is proposed that performs well for reducing CPU time and increasing the accuracy of alignments even for sequences having large insertions or extensions as well as distantly related sequences of similar length.

The endophytic continuum.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the endophytes, in contrast to known pathogens, generally have far greater phenotypic plasticity and thus more options than pathogens: infection, local but also extensive colonisation, latency, virulence, pathogenity and (or) saprophytism.
