Hybridization and the resulting introgression can drive the success of invasive species via
the rapid acquisition of adaptive traits. The Dutch elm disease pandemics in the past 100 …

Dutch elm disease is caused by the aggressiveOphiostoma novo-ulmiand the
nonaggressiveO. ulmi. Both secrete the protein cerato-ulmin (CU). To determine what role …

The ascomycete fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi is responsible for the pandemic of Dutch elm
disease that has been ravaging Europe and North America for 50 years. We proceeded to …

Interkingdom communication is of particular relevance in polymicrobial biofilms. In this work,
the ability of the fungus Ophiostoma piceae to form biofilms individually and in consortium …

Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by three fungal species in the genus Ophiostoma, is the
most devastating disease of both native European and North American elm trees. Although …

Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, the principal agent of Dutch elm disease, has recently replaced
another species of Dutch elm disease pathogen, O. ulmi, across much of the Northern …

Background Yeast-to-hypha transition is a major morphological change in fungi. Molecular
regulators and pathways that are involved in this process have been extensively studied in …

The Ascomycete Ophiostoma novo-ulmi threatens elm populations worldwide. The
molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenicity and virulence are still largely …

During the last decades, the development of ever more powerful genetic, molecular and
omic approaches has provided plant pathologists with a wide array of experimental tools for …

The host–pathogen interaction leading to Dutch elm disease was analyzed using histo-and
cyto-chemical tests in an in vitro system. Friable and hard susceptible Ulmus americana …
