Genomic of resistance for Fusarium circinatum in Pinus radiata
The pitch canker fungus Fusarium circinatum was first associated with mortality of P. radiata in California during the 1980s. Since then it has been dispersed to several countries of the Northern hemisphere together with South Africa and Chile in the southern hemisphere. In Chile the disease caused mortality of seedlings in P. radiata at nursery, and in South Africa the pathogen has already com...
متن کاملFactors influencing infection of mechanical wounds by Fusarium circinatum on Monterey pines
Pitch canker, caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum , is a disease affecting many pine tree species. In California, Pinus radiata (Monterey pine) is the principal pine host affected by pitch canker. This investigation into factors affecting infection frequency by F. circinatum of P. radiata examined the influence of: (i) wound size; (ii) relative humidity; (iii) time of inoculation; (iv) ino...
متن کاملA genetically homogenous population of Fusarium circinatum causes pitch canker of Pinus radiata in the Basque Country, Spain.
Pitch canker, caused by Fusarium circinatum, is a destructive disease of Pinus species and has recently been shown to represent a substantial threat to natural and commercial forests in northern Spain. The genetic diversity of F. circinatum in the Basque Country of Spain was assessed by characterising 96 isolates based on vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs), mating type assays, polymorphic D...
متن کاملDetection and quantification of airborne conidia of Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker, from two California sites by using a real-time PCR approach combined with a simple spore trapping method.
Pinus radiata (Monterey pine), a tree native to coastal California and Mexico, is widely planted worldwide for timber production. A major threat to Monterey pine plantations is the fungal disease pine pitch canker, caused by Fusarium circinatum (Hypocreales). We present a novel trapping approach using filter paper in combination with a rapid molecular method to detect the presence of inoculum i...
متن کاملAdaptive Potential of Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster) Populations to the Emerging Pitch Canker Pathogen, Fusarium circinatum
There is a concern on how emerging pests and diseases will affect the distribution range and adaptability of their host species, especially due to different conditions derived from climate change and growing globalization. Fusarium circinatum, which causes pitch canker disease in Pinus species, is an exotic pathogen of recent introduction in Spain that threatens its maritime pine (P. pinaster) ...
