Abstract excerpt
Fungal pathogens have dramatically altered forests worldwide, yet the mechanisms underlying their virulence remain poorly understood. From the 1970s to the early 2000s, dogwood anthracnose, caused by Discula destructiva Redlin, devastated flowering and Pacific dogwoods Cornus florida L. and C. nuttallii Aud., respectively). Despite the impacts of D. destructiva and other phytopathogens on forest ecosystems, ge...
