Generic boundaries in the Ophiostomatales reconsidered and revised

Z. W. de Beer et al.

Summary: The Ophiostomatales is a group of fungi that cause plant and human diseases and have associations with insects. This study used DNA-based methods to redefine the genera within the Order and discovered new genera. The findings contribute to the classification knowledge of Ophiostomatales and resolve some nomenclatural issues.

Semiochemical-mediated host selection by Xylosandrus spp. ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) attacking horticultural tree crops: a review of basic and applied science

Christopher M. Ranger et al.

Summary: Exotic ambrosia beetles in the tribe Xyleborini, especially Xylosandrus crassiusculus and Xylosandrus germanus, prefer to attack physiologically stressed trees. Ethanol is a key attractant for these beetles, while other host-derived compounds show inconsistent results.

Phoretic and internal transport of Raffaelea lauricola by different species of ambrosia beetle associated with avocado trees

Luisa F. Cruz et al.

Summary: Fungus farming ambrosia beetles carry Raffaelea lauricola, the causal agent of laurel wilt disease, in specialized structures and disperse fungal propagules phoretically on their exoskeleton. The recovery frequency and abundance of R. lauricola were species-specific among the five beetle species studied. Phoretic transmission of R. lauricola was found to be more prevalent and abundant than other mutualistic phoretic fungi across the beetle species, indicating a potential role in avocado infection.

Sap flow, xylem anatomy and photosynthetic variables of three Persea species in response to laurel wilt

Raiza Castillo-Argaez et al.

Summary: Laurel wilt, caused by the fungus Raffaelea lauricola, affects tree physiology and xylem anatomy, leading to decreased CO2 assimilation and sap flow. Avocado cv Waldin shows lower susceptibility to laurel wilt compared to forest species, possibly due to larger xylem vessel diameter and higher leaf chlorophyll index.
