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 Bbotybirnavirus Conferring Hypovirulence in the Pear Stem Wart Disease Phytopathogenic Fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that BdBRV 1 and BmBRV1 are phylogenetically related to the genus Botybirnavirus, and Importantly, Bd BRV1 influences the growth of B. dothidea and confers hypovirulence to the fungal host.

Fungal Melanonychia: Ungual Phaeohyphomycosis caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea.

TL;DR: A classic example of ungual phaeohyphomycosis is described, which is an umbrella term describing infections in humans and other animals characterized primarily by the development of dark-coloured hyphae that are caused by phaeoid fungi.

Highly transferable microsatellite markers for the genera Lasiodiplodia and Neofusicoccum

TL;DR: This work describes highly transferable microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for species in Lasiodiplodia and Neofusicoccum; two important and globally distributed members of the Botryosphaeriaceae.

Botryosphaeria Tree Fungal Pathogens and Their Diversity

TL;DR: The genus Botryosphaeria identified in 1863 as saprophytes of dead tissue of woody plants have been described as pathogens of economically important plantation trees in agriculture and native forests and is a species-rich, worldwide distributed occurring on diverse host ranges.

Forest Pathology and Plant Health

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of topics using an equally varied list of approaches, and they showcase the important role these indirect and often non-linear processes have on the development of forest diseases.

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.
