Forest research and professional workforces continue to be dominated by men, particularly
at senior and management levels. In this review, we identify some of the historical and …

The evaluation of disease resistance is considered an important aspect of phenotyping for
crop improvement. Identification of advanced lines of the common bean with disease …

Rust infection results in decreases in photosynthesis and stress volatile emissions, but how
these changes vary among host species has not been studied. We demonstrated that the …

Eleven soil samples were collected from different plantations at the Forestry Model Base,
Northeast Forestry University, China (45° 43ʹ10 ″N, 126° 37ʹ15 ″E), and 122 …

Carbon starvation is the current leading hypothesis of plant mortality mechanisms under
drought stress; recently, it is also used to explain tree die-off in plant diseases. However, the …

Recognized as the causal agent of net blotch, Drechslera teres is responsible for major
losses of barley crop yield. The consequences of this leaf disease are due to the impact of …

Forests are at increasing risk from pathogen outbreak. Climate change for example enhance
the risk of local disease outbreaks, and naturalization of exotic pathogens may follow human …

Fungal pathogens can induce canker lesions, wilting, and even dieback in many species.
Trees can suffer serious physiological effects from stem cankers. In this study, we …

Tree canker diseases are mainly caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens, which induce
canker lesions, wilting, or dieback in many species. We hypothesized that canker-associated …

Poplar (Populus spp.) trees are widely distributed and play an important role in ecological
communities and in forestry. Moreover, by releasing high amounts of isoprene, these trees …
