During a study of Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with grapevine trunk diseases in the Czech Republic, collection 22 Botryosphaeriaceae-like strains were isolated from four cultivars (Blaufränkisch, Pálava, Pinot Noir, and Welschriesling) distinct vineyards. Based on morphology DNA sequence data (ITS, tub2, tef), identified: Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diplodia mutila, D. seriata, Neofusicoc...

Abstract Neofusicoccum parvum is a recently reported pathogen affecting Theobroma cacao L., and has been isolated from symptomatic pods on Oahu Hawaii Islands. Determining infection routes virulence are essential for assessing the impact of N. production developing effective disease management strategies. Infection were determined by inoculating unwounded stems with six isolates alongside Lasio...

In order to determine factors contributing to the decline of the Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii), 103 trees were surveyed and rated on a scale of 1–4. The performance rating was then compared with the following plant parameters and site conditions: size, growth habit, bark characteristics, location and size of cankers on the trunk, light exposure, slope, soil characteristics, management pra...

during 2004-2007, a field survey was conducted in different vineyards to determine the fungal pathogens associated with grapevine decline in different provinces of iran including fars,hamedan,isfahan, and kohgiluyeh and boirahmad. twenty-seven isolates of botryosphaeriaceae were recovered from vines showing decline and dieback symptoms only in fars province. based on morphological and cultural ...
