Humankind owes much to trees, given their major role in sequestering carbon and providing
oxygen, sugars and much of the energy on which ourselves and terrestrial ecosystems …

Soil-borne pathogens cause great crop losses in agriculture. Because of their resilience in
the soil, these pathogens persist in a population reservoir, causing future outbreaks of crop …

Pathogenic fungi are omnipresent in the environment and have large impacts on their hosts
(Fisher et al. 2012). Many studies have looked at species-specific (fungus-plant) interactions …

Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

Increasing human impacts on forests, including unintentional movement of pathogens,
climate change, and large-scale intensive plantations, are associated with an …

The occurrence of new and emerging phytopathogenic fungal pathogens is on the rise but
has largely been overlooked because of inadequate detection methods (Fisher et al., 2012) …

Soil-borne fungal diseases are a major problem in agriculture. A century ago, the Dutch
plant pathologist Johanna Westerdijk recognized the importance of linking fungal biology …

Fungal pathogens severely impact global food and fibre crop security. Fungal species that
cause plant diseases have mostly been recognized based on their morphology. In general …
