Funded Activity Summary
Pathogenicity of Mycosphaerella on Eucalyptus globulus plantations in Western Australia. Eucalyptus globulus is the main hardwood species grown in plantations in Western Australia. In recent years, the incidence of foliar damage caused by leaf spot fungi in the genus Mycosphaerella has started to become a worrying management problem for the industry. There are approximately 12 Mycosphaerella species associated with Eucalyptus globulus in Western Australia. This project will determine which are the priority destructive Mycosphaerella species. The information gained will allow researchers to select and breed eucalypts for resistance of target Mycosphaerella species in the future. The project will also develop methods for rapid pathogenicity screening.Funded Activity Details
