Hymenoscyphus fraxineus - jeho infekční cesta a interakce s mykobiotou jasanu

Haňáčková, Zuzana

Ash dieback is a disease that affected populations of native ash species throughout Europe at the beginning of the 21st century. It causes necrotic spots on the leaves, necrosis of shoots and branches and, especially in young individuals, the total death of the tree. In particular, F. excelsior is attacked by ash dieback. The causative agent of the disease is the invasive ascomycete fungus from Asia - Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. The aims of this dissertation thesis were as follows: 1) to study population structure of H. fraxineus at different scales - at regional scale (Czech populations) and at the level of particular ash petioles, this latter was to serve as a confirmation of the pathogen infection pathway; 2) to elucidate the effect of H. fraxineus on saprotrophs in the litter (namely H. albidus) and 3) to compare endophytic mycobiota of tolerant and susceptible F. excelsior trees and to test antagonistic interactions of these fungi against the pathogen. Analysis of Czech populations showed lower average gene diversity compared to other European populations with one Czech population differing significantly from the rest due to the lowest allelic richness and very low average gene diversity. The results indicate that despite minimal differences among European populations, local ecological or...
