Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation HfMV2 was introduced by co-culturing into 16 of 105 HfMV2-free Hymenoscyphus fraxineus isolates.
- Intervention effect H. fraxineus isolates whose growth was reduced by HfMV2 showed lower virulence on ash (Fraxinus excelsior) saplings than their isogenic HfMV2-free lines.
- Observation The authors conclude that mycoviruses in native Asian H. fraxineus populations have potential for biological control of ash dieback in Europe.
