Phytophthora root rot induces compositional and functional changes in avocado rhizosphere bacterial communities Understanding how plant pathogens modulate the rhizosphere microbiota is essential to integrated disease management. Here, we assessed the compositional and functional shifts in the avocado rhizospher...

Widespread Latent Presence of Cryptostroma corticale in Sycamore Maple in France Increasing drought events promote forest disease emergence, exemplified by Sooty Bark Disease (SBD) of Acer pseudoplatanus caused by Cryptostroma corticale. Across six French regions, the pathogen wa....

The latent presence of Cryptostroma corticale (causal agent of the sooty bark disease) is widespread among French sycamore maple populations. Host density and water deficit seem to drive the silent spread of the pathogen. See our paper: doi.org/10.1111/ppa.... @umr-iam.bsky.social

Fantastic day in the Amance Arboretum, sampling #pine needles with #DothistromaNeedleBlight symptoms with @kathrinblumenstein.bsky.social and Yasin Korkmaz from @uni-freiburg.de on many Asian, European and American pine species.

It's awesome!
