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.

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.

A six locus phylogeny reveals high species diversity in Botryosphaeriaceae from California almond.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of combinations of datasets showed that pooled analyses of all six datasets resulted in the highest number of supported branches, suggesting that addition of more data might yet improve phylogenetic resolution.
