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.

Scientists' warning on invasive alien species.

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.

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.

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.

Phylogenetic lineages in the Botryosphaeriales: a systematic and evolutionary framework

TL;DR: Molecular clock dating on radiations within the Botryosphaeriales suggests that the order originated in the Cretaceous period around 103 (45-188) mya, with most of the diversification in the Tertiary period.

Predisposition in Plant Disease: Exploiting the Nexus in Abiotic and Biotic Stress Perception and Response

TL;DR: Identifying convergent points in the stress response circuitry is critically important in terms of understanding the fundamental biology that underscores the disease phenotype as well as translating research to improve stress tolerance and disease management in production systems.
