How do sporangia move?
•
Airborne
•
Waterborne/soilborne/ movement of infected plants
•
Can move 100-200 m, but in strong winds up to 2 km

Circles represent genotypes: Circles represent genotypes: red shade indicates those that red shade indicates those that were introduced, are common were introduced, are common in all infested sites, and are the in all infested sites, and are the progenitors of all other progenitors of all other genotypes. Relatedness is genotypes. Relatedness is indicated by connecting linesindicated by connecting lines

The assay we developed became the first DNA assay to diagnose non viral plant pathogens. Now diagnosis of most microbes will
be DNA based

What else have we learned thanks to DNA analysis
•
P. ram is introduced•
P. ram reproduces clonally in CA forests
•
P. ram comes in three “varieties”•
P. ram in CA forests is not the same “variety”
as
in European nurseries•
P. ram is evolving through mutations
•
P. ram was introduced multiple times in California from the same nursery source
•
P. ram is “breathing”
even if it does not grow

•US forest isolates clearly distinct from EU nursery isolates, also have different mating type
•Isolates from nurseries in WA, OR, & BC both of the US and EU types
•Potential for XXX sex and recombination in US nurseries
•US forest population is genetically very homogeneous, trademark of an introduced species

OutlookOutlook•
Pathogen–
No clear trade-
off between virulence and transmission. Predict an increase in virulence, already supported by some preliminary data
•
Host–
Bays: seem to be favored by SOD, their presence likely to increase–
Oaks: climate change predicted to lengthen the window of maximum susceptibility
–
If resistance present it will take thousands of years to become significant, hampered by long distance host gene flow
•
Environment–
Warmer winters may mean infection may be rampant in winter

Treatments have to be designed to address:Stand structure: pathogen needs moisture to surviveSpecies composition: favors bay and tanoak, which serve as reproductive platform (aka‐ seed head)
Treatments must be responsiveDisease expands rapidly during wet spring conditions
Monitoring is criticalSmall infestations can grow rapidly
Long‐term habitat needsNo tanoak resistance observed to date

Data after 4 seasons post‐treatmentSignificant re‐sprouting, but few symptoms observedPrescribed burn sites had the most material consumed, likely more effectiveNo spread observed north of bay removal zone on Ave of the GiantsEvidence mounting to be able to control the pathogen at the backyard to smaller site scaleBay removal appears most effective (though not appropriate in all situations). Herbicide bay removal is questionable. Imazapyr+ glophosate.Results are very weather dependentRecommendations still very site specific and reflect landowners long‐term goals.
