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.

Teratosphaeria stem canker of Eucalyptus : two pathogens, one devastating disease

TL;DR: T. gauchensis and T. zuluensis are closely related fungi that cause Teratosphaeria stem canker disease on Eucalyptus species propagated in plantations for commercial purposes, and continues to spread with the international trade of infected plant germplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Diversity and Pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae Species Associated with Symptomatic Citrus Plants in Europe

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first survey studying the occurrence, genetic diversity, and pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with symptomatic citrus species in citrus-production areas in five European countries.

Acquisition and Loss of Secondary Metabolites Shaped the Evolutionary Path of Three Emerging Phytopathogens of Wheat.

TL;DR: Understanding of the lifestyle and potential host-range of these recently emerged wheat pathogens is advanced and new light on fungal secondary metabolism is shed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal canker pathogens trigger carbon starvation by inhibiting carbon metabolism in poplar stems.

TL;DR: Results implied a potential mechanism that affects the host carbon reserve, by directly inhibiting the expression of genes involved in carbon metabolism and transport, during the early stages of Botryosphaeria and Valsa canker diseases.

Molecular characterization of a novel fusarivirus infecting the plant-pathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea

TL;DR: Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis suggested that BdFV1 is a novel mycovirus belonging to the newly proposed family “Fusariviridae”, the first report of a +ssRNA myCovirus in B. dothidea.

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.
