“…This fungus has been reported to cause quarantine disease in hundreds of plant species in numerous countries, resulting in a yield losses of various crops and woody plants [3]. B. dothidea serves as the causal agent of serious plant diseases on fruit and forest trees, leading to tree death in some cases; examples of such plant diseases including ring rot, Botryosphaeria canker, white rot, dieback, gummosis, and stem scab [4][5][6]. The canker caused by this pathogen is characterized by the collapse of cortical cells and discolored areas on the bark [4].…”

The development of natural plant extracts and essential oils will assist to decrease the negative effects of synthetic chemicals. The antifungal activity of 20 pure monoterpenes was assessed their efficacy against Botryosphaeria dothidea. 20 compounds were investigated the antifungal activity against B. dothidea at the concentration of 400 µgꞏmL-1. And components were used to the future test, which of the antifungal rate is greater than 50% against B. dothidea. Results from antifungal tests revealed that cuminaldehyde, β-citronellol, nerol, geraniol, citral and α-terpineol exhibited strong antifungal effect against B. dothidea. In addition, the antifungal activity of cuminaldehyde, β-citronellol, and geraniol had a highest effect toward B. dothidea with LC 50 values of 105.15, 135.73, 132.69 µgꞏmL-1 , respectively. In addition to the antagonistic effect of geraniol/β-citronellol (1/2) mixture, the combination of other compounds has synergistic effect on B. dothidea. The present results indicated that cuminaldehyde, geraniol, and β-citronellol are promising antifungal effect against B. dothidea and could be useful in the search for new natural fungicide. Several high activity monoterpenes and some combined with two monoterpenes were identified, and provided a rationale for pursuing further research on the fungicide and enhanced efficacy by the combined of fungicide.

“…Although Botryosphaeria dothidea (syn. Fusicoccum aesculi) ) has been previously reported to cause fruit rots (Fu et al, 2007) and shoot blight (Liu et al, 2008) on pomegranate in China, to our knowledge, this is the first report of N. parvum associated with shoot blight on pomegranate in Greece. Pathogenicity tests conducted by Mohammadi (2013) showed that the fungus N. parvum isolated from grapevine was pathogenic to pomegranate.…”

“…Botryosphaeria dothidea is an economically important pathogen infecting many woody plants causing fruit rot, frogeye leaf spot, stem and branch canker, die-back, gummosis, and in some cases tree death (Slippers et al 2007;Liu et al 2009). This pathogen infects poplar, apple, pear, peach, eucalyptus and olive trees in Asia, Europe, America, Oceania and Africa (Phillips et al 2005;Pitt et al 2010;Yu et al 2009;Slippers et al 2007;Tang et al 2012).…”

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a severe causal agent of die-back and cankers of many woody plants and causes great losses in many regions. The pathogenic mechanism of this pathogen has not been well explored due to lack of mutants and genetic information. In this study, we developed an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) protocol for B. dothidea protoplasts using vector pBHt2 containing the hph gene as a selection marker under the control of trp C promoter. Using this protocol we successfully generated the B. dothidea transformants with efficiency about 23 transformants per 10(5) protoplasts. This is the first report of genetic transformation of B. dothidea via ATMT and this protocol provides an effective tool for B. dothidea genome manipulation, gene identification and functional analysis.
