Increasing forest loss worldwide from invasive pests requires new trade regulations (2014, background): “Furthermore, new fungal pathogens are emerging as a result of hybridization between introduced and native pathogens (Brasier 2000), with the rate of fungal invasions recently reported to be increasing rapidly (Fisher et al. 2012).”
Novel associations between pathogens, insects and tree species threaten world forests (2010, background): “Little is known regarding hybridisation amongst tree pathogens, but there is growing evidence that this process is probably more common than has previously been appreciated (Brasier, 2000b, 2001).”
The biosecurity threat to the UK and global environment from international trade in plants (2008, background): “Nurseries in Europe and elsewhere infested with multiple species of the same pathogen genus are potential breeding grounds for evolution of new, interspecific hybrids that are more aggressive, or have host ranges unknown in the parent species (Brasier, 1995, 2000, 2001).”
Complexity in climate-change impacts: an analytical framework for effects mediated by plant disease (2011, background): “Range shifts resulting from climate change may produce new combinations of pathogen and vector species, and the potential for new hybrid patho- gens (Brasier, 2000).”
Integrative approaches for species delimitation in Ascomycota (2021, background): “For instance, hybridisation has been proposed as a significant force in the evolution of phytopathogens (Brasier 2000).”
Phylogeography of the ectomycorrhizal Pisolithus species as inferred from nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS sequences (2002, background): “Recent hybridization between fungal species has been reported between the poplar rusts Melampsora medusae and M. occidentalis (Brasier, 2000), and between major lineages of Cryptococcus neoformans (Xu et al., 2000).”
Characterization of North American Armillaria species: genetic relationships determined by ribosomal DNA sequences and AFLP markers (2006, background): “Hybridization between pathogens is currently a major concern due to the potential for hybrid individuals to possess new pathogenic traits (Brasier 2000); however, more studies are needed to fully understand the impacts of hybridization among Armillaria species.”
