• Lessons to learn for better safeguarding of genetic resources during tree pandemics: The case of ash dieback in Europe 

  George, Jan Peter; Rusanen, Mari; Beuker, Egbert; Yrjänä, Leena; Timmermann, Volkmar; Potočić, Nenad; Välimäki, Sakari; Konrad, Heino (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-10-02)

  Ash dieback (ADB) has been threatening populations of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior & F. angustifolia) for more than three decades. Although much knowledge has been gathered in the recent past, practical conservation ...

• Transcriptome analysis of Phytophthora cactorum infecting strawberry identified RXLR effectors that induce cell death when transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana 

  Ghimire, Bikal; Gogoi, Anupam; Poudel, Mandeep; Stensvand, Arne; Brurberg, May Bente (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-05-24)

  Phytophthora cactorum is a plant pathogenic oomycete that causes crown rot in strawberry leading to significant economic losses every year. To invade the host, P. cactorum secretes an arsenal of effectors that can manipulate ...
