“…austriacum bush decay is more and more often observed, which may be associated with pathogen activity. During the conducted research, teleomorphs could not be found, which is in accordance with previous investigations (Varga et al 2014, Chen et al 2018.…”

“…Chen et al (2008) reports that the disease caused by S. visci is able to completely destroy Asian mistletoe bushes. To date, information on this fungus comes from Austria, the Czech Republic, Egypt (Phillips et al 2013), Romania (Sutton 1980), Ukraine (Phillips et al 2008), Hungary (Poczai et al 2015), Serbia, Luxemburg (Zlatkovic et al 2016 and China (Chen et al 2018). The research presented here is the first report on the occurrence of this organism in Poland.…”

Mistletoe (Viscum album) is a semi-parasite of many forest trees. During water scarcity, its presence can be particularly dangerous for the host plant. In Poland, the subspecies V. album subsp. austriacum inhabits Scots pine massively. Therefore, an attempt was made to search for a natural barrier in limiting its development. For this purpose, in spring 2019 in the southwestern part of Poland, mistletoe shoots inhabiting Scots pine were collected. A fungus was isolated from the collected plant fragments, which was then identified by Koch's postulates and DNA analysis of the given sequences. The data presented here confirmed that the pathogen responsible for the disease was Sphaeropsis visci. This is the first report on the occurrence of this mistletoe pathogen in Poland.

“…It is worthy adding that some pathogens of the V. album e.g., Sphaeropsis visci, which is a quite common species in Central Europe (Gierczyk et al 2019;Tkaczyk and Sikora 2020), can be a natural barrier to mistletoe spreading. Chen et al (2018) reports that this pathogen decreases the Asian mistletoe fitness.…”

Drought in the forest breaks plant–fungi interactions

et al. 2021

Drought in the forest is not only a prolonged state of water shortage, but also an occasion where interactions between plants and fungi are affected. Water efficiency accelerates a range of pathologies in interactions between organisms, influencing the ecosystems and their interacting biological components. This study focuses on the role of mycorrhizal and endophyte fungi in alleviating the effects of soil water shortage, and on the impact of their altered activity during drought on the health of trees. The issues presented here show the fundamental role of the mycorrhizal mycelium and the mechanism of water transport to the plant in the course of other phenomena (withering, pathogenesis, endophytes biology) that occur in trees under influence of drought, with particular attention on managed coniferous stands. Conclusions resulting from published information on this topic emphasize the negative impact of soil moisture deficiency on the ectomycorrhizal fungi functioning and, in contrast, on the promotion of the growth of some endophytes, pathogens and hemi-parasitic mistletoes (Viscum spp.).

“…Hyper parasitism (parasitism of one mistletoe on another) causes overloading of the host plant and can lead to its death. However, the use of natural antagonists, such as bacteria and fungi, is considered a more promising option (Karadžić et al 2004, Kotan et al 2013, Chen et al 2018.…”

To improve the biological control of white mistletoe (European mistletoe) additional detailed information on Botryosphaeria visci infection, its basic nutritional requirements, growth, and in vitro growth characteristics is needed. The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify the fungus B. visci associated with Viscum аlbum from Sorbus aucuparia, to provide information on its in vitro introduction and growth characteristics on different media, and to test the pathogenicity of the isolated fungus. To achieve these goals, the morphology of conidiophores from infected parts of mistletoe was evaluated by microscopy. The isolate from fresh collections of V. album was identified as Sphaeropsis visci anamorph of ascomycete Botryosphaeria visci. The morphology of the vegetative mycelium and growth of B. visci varied depending on the media used. The best medium supporting growth and sporulation was oatmeal. Re-infection of European mistletoe in laboratory conditions showed positive result on liquid media, and in field conditions but only after mechanical damage to the mistletoe leaves. Our results expand the knowledge regarding the optimal cultivation of this fungus. This may facilitate further mycological and pathological studies involving B. visci isolates, and the results have a theoretical basis for the implementation of measures for the prevention and control of mistletoe.
