Evaluation of Chestnut Susceptibility to <i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i>: Screening under Controlled Conditions
<i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i> (Murrill) M.E. Barr (Sordariomycetes, Valsaceae) is the causal agent of chestnut blight. This disease is a major concern for chestnut cultivation in Europe. The fungus colonizes vascular tissues and evolves generating cankers causing severe dieback and the...
