Acquisition of Ophiostoma quercus and Ceratocystis fagacearum by Nitidulids from O. quercus–Colonized Oak Wilt Mats
Oak wilt infection centers are initiated by overland spread of the causal fungus, Ceratocystis fagacearum (T. W. Bretz) J. Hunt, by insects (10). Sap-feeding beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) are considered a primary vector of the pathogen in the north central states (7,9). Successful transmission by sap-feeding beetles depends on several coexisting conditions, including (i) the availability of...
متن کاملThe origin of Ceratocystis fagacearum, the oak wilt fungus.
The oak wilt pathogen, Ceratocystis fagacearum, may be another example of a damaging, exotic species in forest ecosystems in the United States. Though C. fagacearum has received much research attention, the origin of the fungus is unknown. The pathogen may have been endemic at a low incidence until increased disturbances, changes in land use, and forest management created conditions favorable f...
متن کاملOccurrence of Nitidulid Beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) in Texas Oak Wilt Centers
J. Econ. Entomo!. 79: 1276-1279 (1986) ABSTRACT In 1984-85 free-flying nitidulids were trapped in centers of oak wilt, Ceratocystis fagacearum (Bretz) Hunt, for 1 year at six locations in central Texas. Two of the 10 species identified, Cryptarcha concinna Melsheimer and Coiopterus maculatus (Erichson), accounted for 57 and 35%, respectively, of the total number (3,397) of beetles trapped. Peak...
متن کاملRapid detection of Ophiostoma piceae and O. quercus in stained wood by PCR.
A rapid, sensitive, and simple method was developed to detect the sapstain fungi Ophiostoma piceae and O. quercus in stained wood. By using microwave heating for DNA extraction and PCR with internal transcribed spacer-derived-specific primers, detection was feasible within 4 h, even with DNA obtained from a single synnema. This method can easily be extended for the detection of other wood-inhab...
متن کاملHow Discrete Are Oak Species? Insights from a Hybrid Zone between Quercus Grisea and Quercus Gambelii.
The white oaks Quercus gambelii and Q. grisea overlap in distribution in New Mexico and Arizona. Within the region of overlap, there are numerous instances of contact between the two taxa. In some areas of contact morphologically, intermediate trees are common, whereas in others, morphologically intermediate trees are rare or absent. We describe a set of RAPD markers that distinguish between th...
