Investigation of the production of secondary metabolites of Heterobasidion occidentale led to the isolation and identification of six sesquiterpenes (illudolone A and B, illudolactone A and B, deoxyfomannosin A and B) along with the well-known sesquiterpene fomannosin and the previously described benzohydrofuran fomannoxin. The structures and relative configurations of the compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis as well as by HRMS. Their absolute configuration and biosynthesis were suggested and discussed in relation to fomannosin. Four compounds showed growth inhibiting activity against several basidiomycetes, Phlebiopsis gigantea, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and H. occidentale, and toxicity towards the moss Physcomitrella patens. In addition, one compound displayed activity against the bacterium Variovorax paradoxus as well as against the ascomycete Fusarium oxysporum.

Western hemlock () is highly susceptible to Annosus root and butt rot disease, caused by across its native range in western North America. Understanding molecular mechanisms of tree defense and dissecting genetic components underlying disease resistance will facilitate forest breeding and disease control management. The aim of this study was to profile host transcriptome reprogramming in response to pathogen infection using RNA-seq analysis.

We conducted an experimental evaluation of treatments to limit infection of white fir () stumps and wounds in California mixed conifer forests. We tested the efficacy of urea, borate, and a mixture of two locally collected strains in preventing pathogen colonization of fir stumps and separately, urea and borate as infection controls on experimental stem wounds. These were paired with a laboratory test on ~100 g wood blocks with and without a one-week delay between inoculation and treatment.
