Reads0
Chats0
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.

Molecular characterization of a novel ourmia‑like virus from the phytopathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors described a novel ourmia-like virus, BdOLV2, derived from the phytopathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea strain ZM180192-1 infecting maize in Henan province of China.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taxonomical Study of Noteworthy Species of Botryosphaeria in Japan

TL;DR: The reexamination of the fungal genus Botryosphaeria on 12 plant species of 10 families was carried out based on molecular phylogenetic analyses using the regions of translation elongation factor 1 as mentioned in this paper.

Comparative Analysis of Herbaceous and Woody Cell Wall Digestibility by Pathogenic Fungi

TL;DR: In this article, an approach integrating enzyme activity assay, biomass pretreatment, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and genomic analysis of PCWDEs were applied to examine digestibility or degradability of selected woody and herbaceous biomass by pathogenic fungi.

The genome of the butternut canker pathogen, Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum shows an elevated number of genes associated with secondary metabolism and protection from host resistance responses.

TL;DR: The genome of Oc-j is sequenced and achieved a high-quality assembly and its phylogeny within the Diaporthales order is delineated using a genome-wide multi-gene approach and multiple gene families that might be involved in plant pathogenicity and degradation of complex biomass are examined.

Fungal genomes enhance our understanding of the pathogens affecting trees cultivated in Southern Hemisphere plantations

TL;DR: Practical applications include the formulation of strategies for pathogen detection and surveillance, as well as breeding disease-resistant trees, set to ensure the long-term sustainability of plantation forestry in the Southern Hemisphere.

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.
