“…In the Balkans, B. dothidea has previously been reported causing disease on O. carpinifolia in Slovenia (Piškur et al 2011), white rot of apple fruit in Serbia (Vasić et al 2013) and rot of olives in Montenegro (Latinović et al 2013). This species has also been isolated from English walnut, pistachio and kiwi fruit from Greece (Inderbitzin et al 2010;Thomidis and Exadaktylou 2010;Chen et al 2014b) and (based on morphological identification) from S. giganteum, Quercus petraea, Q. cerris, Fagus sylvatica, Populus 9 euramericana cl.…”

“…B. dothidea, Dothiorella iberica and Dothiorella parva have been found associated with dying Ostrya carpinifolia, Cotinus coggygria and Juniperus communis in Slovenia (Piškur et al 2011;Pavlic-Zupanc et al 2015). Botryosphaeriaceae members have also been reported from fruit trees in the Western Balkans region, including Diplodia bulgarica on apple trees in Bulgaria (Phillips et al 2012), B. dothidea on apple fruit in Serbia and olives in Montenegro (Latinović et al 2013;Vasić et al 2013), N. parvum on grapevine in Croatia and Diplodia seriata on shrubs of Cotoneaster salicifolius in Bulgaria and on olives in Croatia (Bobev et al 2008;Kaliterna et al 2012Kaliterna et al , 2013. On forest and ornamental trees in the Western Balkans, B. dothidea, Diplodia sapinea and Sphaeropsis visci have been identified, but the identification of species was based solely on morphological characteristics and is uncertain (Karadžić et al 2000(Karadžić et al , 2004Karadžić and Milijašević 2008).…”

Extensive die-back and mortality of various ornamental trees and shrubs has been observed in parts of the Western Balkans region during the past decade. The disease symptoms have been typical of those caused by pathogens residing in the Botryosphaeriaceae. The aims of this study were to isolate and characterize Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with diseased ornamental trees in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Isolates were initially characterized based on the DNA sequence data for the internal transcribed spacer rDNA and six major clades were identified. Representative isolates from each clade were further characterized using DNA sequence data for the translation elongation factor 1-alpha, b-tubulin-2 and large subunit rRNA gene regions, as well as the morphology of the asexual morphs. Ten species of the Botryosphaeriaceae were identified of which eight, i.e., Dothiorella sarmentorum, Neofusicoccum parvum, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Phaeobotryon cupressi, Sphaeropsis visci, Diplodia seriata, D. sapinea and D. mutila were known taxa. The remaining two species could be identified only as Dothiorella spp. Dichomera syn-asexual morphs of D. sapinea, Dothiorella sp. 2 and B. dothidea, as well as unique morphological characters for a number of the known species are described. Based on host plants and geographic distribution, the majority of Botryosphaeriaceae species found represent new records. The results of this study contribute to our knowledge of the distribution, host associations and impacts of these fungi on trees in urban environments.

Escudete is widespread around the Mediterranean Basin including France, Italy, Montenegro, Portugal, Spain, and Tunisia (Chattaoui et al 2011;Iannotta et al 2007;Latinović et al 2013;Margier 2014;Moral et al 2010;Phillips et al 2005;Zachos and Tzavella-Klonari 1979).

Substantial cultivar differences of fruit susceptibility to escudete have been described in Spain and Montenegro (Latinović et al 2013;Moral et al 2017a), although differences in cultivar attractiveness to olive fly could have an important role in the percentage of diseased fruit.…”

Ecology and Epidemiology of Diseases of Nut Crops and Olives Caused by Botryosphaeriaceae Fungi in California and Spain

et al. 2019

In recent decades, the cultivated area and production of nuts and olives have increased, driven by an increasing consumer interest in healthier food. Diseases of almond, pistachio, olive, and walnut crops caused by species belonging to the Botryosphaeriaceae family have caused concern worldwide. Although considerable progress has been made in elucidating the etiology of these diseases, scientific knowledge of other aspects of these diseases is more limited. In this article, we present an overview of the most important diseases caused by Botryosphaeriaceae fungi affecting almond, pistachio, olive, and walnut crops by focusing on ecology and epidemiology, primarily in California and Spain.

Stem blister canker, caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea, is becoming the most serious disease of poplar in China. The molecular basis of the poplar in response to stem blister canker is not well understood. To reveal the global transcriptional changes of poplar to infection by B. dothidea, Solexa paired-end sequencing of complementary DNAs (cDNAs) from control (NB) and pathogen-treated samples (WB) was performed, resulting in a total of 339,283 transcripts and 183,881 unigenes. A total of 206,586 transcripts were differentially expressed in response to pathogen stress (false discovery rate ≤0.05 and an absolute value of log2Ratio (NB/WB) ≥1). In enrichment analysis, energy metabolism and redox reaction-related macromolecules were accumulated significantly in Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways analyses, indicating components of dynamic defense against the fungus. A total of 852 transcripts (575 upregulated and 277 downregulated transcripts) potentially involved in plant-pathogen interaction were also differentially regulated, including genes encoding proteins linked to signal transduction (putative leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein kinases and calcium-binding proteins), defense (pathogenesis-related protein 1), and cofactors (jasmonate-ZIM-domain-containing proteins and heat shock proteins). Moreover, transcripts encoding glutathione S-transferase (GST) were accumulated to high levels, revealing key genes and proteins potentially related to pathogen resistance. Poplar RNA sequence data were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), which revealed a highly reliability of the transcriptomic profiling data.
