Botryosphaeria canker

A rapid and efficient in vivo inoculation method for introducing tree stem canker pathogens onto leaves: suitable for large-scale assessment of resistance in poplar breeding progeny

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed a faster and easier way to test whether poplar trees are resistant to stem canker diseases caused by fungi. Instead of using traditional time-consuming stem tests, they inoculate fungal pathogens directly onto leaves, which shows results in just 5 days. This new leaf-based method uses abundant, readily available leaf tissue and can test many poplar breeding candidates quickly and cheaply, making it ideal for developing disease-resistant poplar varieties.

Scientists developed a faster and easier way to test whether poplar trees are resistant to diseases caused by stem canker fungi. Instead of using time-consuming traditional methods that require large stem pieces, the new method uses poplar leaves for testing. The leaf method produces results in 5 days, uses abundant leaf materials, and the results match those from traditional stem testing methods.
