Plants for planting; indirect evidence for the movement of a serious forest pathogen, Teratosphaeria destructans, in Asia

Abstract: Fungal diseases caused by native pathogens and pathogens introduced with planting stock have a significant impact on exotic plantation forestry in the tropics. Teratosphaeria destructans (formerly Kirramyces destructans) is a serious pathogen causing leaf, bud and shoot blight diseases of Eucalyptus spp. in plantations in the sub-tropics and tropics of south-east Asia. This pathogen was first discovered in Indonesia in 1995 and has subsequently spread to Thailand, China, Vietnam and East Timor. The biology, ec… Show more

“…It was, however, not possible to determine whether isolates found in Florida and Uruguay originated from Australia or South Africa because both the South Africa and Australia isolates share similar haplotypes with isolates from the former two countries. Eucalyptus planting stock, particularly in the form of seed, has been widely traded around the world, and it is believed that this has been one of the important sources of pathogens moving into new areas (Andjic et al 2011;Wingfield et al 2008). For example, T. nubilosa, an important Eucalyptus pathogen and relative Brown of T. suttonii, moved from Australia into South Africa, and the latter country provided a beachhead for movement of the pathogen into Africa and Europe (Hunter et al 2008).…”

“…plantations in south-east Asia which are susceptible to leaf, bud, and shoot blight caused by Teratosphaeria destructans (M.J. Wingf. & Crous) [94]. Increased host susceptibility to infectious parasites may also be due to reduced individual-level and population-level genetic heterozygosity, which may increase the occurrence of inbreeding [95,96].…”
