Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system.

  • Crop Profile for Brambles in Tennessee
    Crop Profile for Brambles in Tennessee Prepared: August, 2006 General Production Information ● Tennessee is not ranked in U.S. bramble production. ● Currently, Tennessee only produces a minor amount of brambles and produces less than one percent of total U.S. product. ● The total bramble acreage grown in Tennessee consists of: ❍ Blackberries: 250 acres ❍ Raspberries: 50 acres ● Value of brambles to Tennessee’s economy during 2005 was: ❍ Blackberries: $1.5 million ❍ Raspberries: $250,000 ● Bramble production within Tennessee is scattered across the state. Raspberries and Blackberries both belong to the genus Rubus of the family Rosaceae. There are several species of both. Raspberries can be distinguished from blackberries because the fruit of the raspberry can be readily removed from the receptacle when ripe (the white, cone-shaped base of the fruit bearing stem). The fruit of the blackberry is not easily removed. Most species of raspberries are edible, although a few are nearly inedible because they are dry and insipid (have little flavor). Commercial raspberries belong to two species; red raspberries and black raspberries. Black raspberries should not be confused with blackberries, a different group of species. Commercially produced blackberries may be thorned or thornless types. Thorned blackberry varieties generally yield from 10,000 to 11,000 lbs per acre with thorneless types yielding from 8,000 to 10,000 lbs per acre. Shawnee is a thorned type which is super sensitive to rosette disease. Apache, Navahoe, Triple Crown and Black Satin are thornless types. Navahoe is sensitive to orange rust, where Black Satin is resistant to anthracnose. Generally, raspberries grown in Tennessee yield from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs per acre.

  • Final Report: 07-IG-11272177-051
    Final report: 07-IG-11272177-051 Preliminary exploration for natural enemies of Rubus ellipticus in China By Jianqing Ding, Kai Wu & Jialiang Zhang Invasion Biology and Biocontrol Lab Wuhan Botanical Institute Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, Hubei Province, 430074 China Email: [email protected] In collaboration with Tracy Johnson Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station P.O. Box 236, Volcano, Hawaii 96785 Ph: 808-967-7122 Fax: 808-967-7158 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Yellow Himalayan Raspberry, Rubus ellipticus, is an invasive plant in Hawaii. As chemical, physical and manual controls are expensive and difficult to implement against this plant, biological control is being considered. The collaboration between China and the U.S. for finding potential biological control agents in the native range of R. ellipticus was recently reinitiated in 2006. Here, we report 60 arthropod species in 30 families that were directly collected on Rubus ellipticus in field surveys in 2006-2008. We also provide a review of the potential agents, including 49 species of arthropods in 16 families and 65 species of fungi in 3 phyla and 19 families, from literature or online data. Among these species, the warty beetles Chlamisus setosus (Bowditch) and Chlamisus spp., the flea beetles Chaetoenema, an unidentified stem borer, the leaf-rolling moth Epinotia spp. and an unidentified sawfly were the most promising potential agents. Preliminary lab tests indicated that the warty beetles Chlamisus spp., the flea beetles Chaetoenema, may have narrow host range. We recommend further screening of these organisms to investigate their impacts on the target plant, host specificity, and the risk of undesired effects in Hawaiian ecosystems.

Note: This profile is a comprehensive list of pests that may be encountered by New England raspberry growers, and the approved pesticides that may be used to control them. Only a few pests actually require treatment on an individual farm in a single year. For each pest all of the available effective options are listed. If treatment is needed, only one of those options would be used per application. Some pests require multiple applications for control, others only require a single application. 1 The Crop Profile/PMSP database, including this document, is supported by USDA NIFA.

  • An Inventory of Fungal Diversity in Ohio Research Thesis Presented In
    An Inventory of Fungal Diversity in Ohio Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Django Grootmyers The Ohio State University April 2021 1 ABSTRACT Fungi are a large and diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that play important roles in nutrient cycling in ecosystems worldwide. Fungi are poorly documented compared to plants in Ohio despite 197 years of collecting activity, and an attempt to compile all the species of fungi known from Ohio has not been completed since 1894. This paper compiles the species of fungi currently known from Ohio based on vouchered fungal collections available in digitized form at the Mycology Collections Portal (MyCoPortal) and other online collections databases and new collections by the author. All groups of fungi are treated, including lichens and microfungi. 69,795 total records of Ohio fungi were processed, resulting in a list of 4,865 total species-level taxa. 250 of these taxa are newly reported from Ohio in this work. 229 of the taxa known from Ohio are species that were originally described from Ohio. A number of potentially novel fungal species were discovered over the course of this study and will be described in future publications. The insights gained from this work will be useful in facilitating future research on Ohio fungi, developing more comprehensive and modern guides to Ohio fungi, and beginning to investigate the possibility of fungal conservation in Ohio. INTRODUCTION Fungi are a large and very diverse group of organisms that play a variety of vital roles in natural and agricultural ecosystems: as decomposers (Lindahl, Taylor and Finlay 2002), mycorrhizal partners of plant species (Van Der Heijden et al.
