Can Hymenoscyphus fraxineus infect hardy members of the Oleaceae other than ash species?

The interaction between the ash dieback fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, and two commonly grown members of the Oleaceae (Forsythia × intermedia ‘Lynwood’ and Ligustrum vulgare) was investigated. Shoots were inoculated with three isolates of H. fraxineus and harvested after 2 and 10 weeks. DNA was ex...

Zusammenfassung:The interaction between the ash dieback fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, and two commonly grown members of the Oleaceae (Forsythia × intermedia ‘Lynwood’ and Ligustrum vulgare) was investigated. Shoots were inoculated with three isolates of H. fraxineus and harvested after 2 and 10 weeks. DNA was extracted from tissue collected at the point of inoculation, as well as 15 mm below and above (distal), and analysed using fungal‐specific ITS primers and specific primers for H. fraxineus. The fungus was frequently detected in tissue at the point of inoculation, but rarely in distal samples. There was no evidence that H. fraxineus was pathogenic on either of the two oleaceous species over the duration of the experiment.
