Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Greyish mycelium was observed on D. rotundifolia hibernacula in Czech Republic, Germany and Hungary in 2020 and 2021.
- Observation Every sample's novel pathogen was identified as highly polyphagous Botrytis cinerea.
- Association Only sundew plants grown on milled peat substrate were affected by the pathogen in the field survey.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that live Sphagnum moss is a better substrate than milled peat for sundew commercial production and in situ conservation.
- Mechanism The authors suggest Sphagnum bogs may protect D. rotundifolia and permit its expansion and re-establishment.
