TL;DR: Improved international cooperation is crucial to reduce the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human livelihoods, as synergies with other global changes are exacerbating current invasions and facilitating new ones, thereby escalating the extent and impacts of invaders.

Diversity in the Botryosphaeriales: Looking back, looking forward.
TL;DR: A well defined natural classification and an extensive collection of tools to study the Botryosphaeriaceae, including a growing number of genomes, now provide a springboard for a much deeper exploration of their biology, biogeography and host associations.

TL;DR: This article used all published records with available sequence data of the Botryosphaeriaceae in Australia to examine the distribution and host range of these taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
The unified framework for biological invasions: a forest fungal pathogen perspective
TL;DR: This commentary highlights four emerging issues that need to be considered regarding the invasions by fungal pathogens of trees and it emphasizes opportunities to better understand their relevance and impacts on natural and planted forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics of Botryosphaeria dothidea and B. kuwatsukai , causal agents of apple ring rot, reveals both species expansion of pathogenicity-related genes and variations in virulence gene content during speciation
TL;DR: Comparing the genomes of Botryosphaeria dothidea and B. kuwatsukai will be instrumental in understanding how both phytopathogens interact with their plant hosts and in designing efficient strategies for disease control and molecular breeding to help ensure global apple production and food security.

Genes Expressed in Grapevine Leaves Reveal Latent Wood Infection by the Fungal Pathogen Neofusicoccum parvum
Stefan Czemmel,Erin R. A. Galarneau,Renaud Travadon,Andrew J. McElrone,Grant R. Cramer,Kendra Baumgartner +5 more
TL;DR: Light microscopy and high-resolution computed tomography were used to examine the spatio-temporal relationship between pathogen colonization and anatomical changes in stem sections of Neofusicoccum parvum infection to identify differentially-expressed grape genes that may serve as host-based markers of the latent phase of N. parvUM infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the causal agent of Botryosphaeria stem canker in Ethiopian Eucalyptus plantations
TL;DR: Greenhouse and field inoculation studies showed that the Ethiopian isolates of Botryosphaeria parva are highly virulent and careful site species selection and breeding trials are thus needed to reduce the impact of this disease in Ethiopia.

TL;DR: The survey of PR genes in Eucalyptus provides a first step in identifying defence gene targets that may be employed for protection of the species in future and synthesizes existing knowledge of defence mechanisms in model plants and tree species.
