Differences in the Proteomic and Metabolomic Response of and During the Early Stages of Infection.

Rands is a cosmopolite pathogen of woody plants which during the last couple of centuries has spread all over the world from its center of origin in Southeast Asia. In contrast to Chinese cork oak ( Blume) forests native to Asia, which are generally healthy despite the presence of the pathogen, the populations of Cork oaks ( L.) in Europe have been severely decimated by .

Ophiodiaporthe cyatheae gen. et sp. nov., a diaporthalean pathogen causing a devastating wilt disease of Cyathea lepifera in Taiwan.

The scaly tree fern, Cyathea lepifera, in Taiwan has been devastated by an ascomycetous pathogen in recent years. This fungus resembles species of Diaporthe, but unlike anamorphs of Diaporthe that produce two types of conidia, its anamorph produces one conidium type. It is described herein as Ophiodiaporthe cyatheae gen.

Evaluation of dazomet as fumigant for the control of brown root rot disease.
