American elm (), highly prized for its ornamental value, has suffered two successive outbreaks of Dutch elm disease (DED) caused by ascomycete fungi belonging to the genus . To identify the genes linked to the pathogenicity of different species and lineages of , we inoculated 2-year-old saplings with six strains representing three species of DED fungi, and one strain of the saprotroph . Differential expression analyses were performed following RNA sequencing of fungal transcripts recovered at 3- and 10-days post-infection.

Article Synopsis
  • Christmas trees are significant for both the economy and culture in North America, but they face threats from microorganisms, particularly causing Phytophthora root rot (PRR) which leads to substantial economic losses.
  • Between 2019 and 2021, researchers collected soil and root samples from 40 Christmas tree plantations in Québec to identify pathogens using modern sequencing techniques.
  • The study identified 44 isolates, with one species being the most prevalent in trees showing symptoms of PRR, demonstrating its pathogenicity on Fraser and balsam fir seedlings, thereby contributing valuable knowledge about the diversity of pathogens in Christmas tree production.

Lower-limb physical function declines with age and contributes to a greater difficulty in performing activities of daily living. Existing assessments of lower-limb function assess one dimension of movement in isolation or are not time-efficient, which discourages their use in community and clinical settings. We aimed to address these limitations by assessing the inter-rater reliability and convergent validity of a new multimodal functional lower-limb assessment (FLA).
