Advances in the Detection of Emerging Tree Diseases by Measurements of VOCs and <i>HSP</i>s Gene Expression, Application to Ash Dieback Caused by <i>Hymenoscyphus fraxineus</i>

Ash shoot dieback has now spread throughout Europe. It is caused by an interaction between fungi that attack shoots (<i>Hymenoscyphus fraxineus</i>) and roots (<i>Armillaria</i> spp., in our case <i>Armillaria gallica</i>). While detection of the pathogen is relat...
