Overvåkingsprogrammet i 2023 omfattet undersøkelse for tilstedeværelse av furuvednematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) i hogstavfall fra furu og i furubukker av slekten Monochamus. I OK-programmets delaktivitet som omfattet kartlegging av furuvednematode i hogstavfall, ble det tatt 410 flisprøver fra hogstavfall og vindfall av furu (Pinus sylvestris) som hadde tegn på angrep av furubukker i slekten Monochamus. Prøvene ble tatt i Agder og Østfold. Flisprøvene ble inkubert ved +25°C i to uker før nematoder ble ekstrahert med Baermann-trakt og undersøkt i mikroskop. Furuvednematoden B. xylophilus ble ikke påvist, men den naturlig forekommende arten Bursaphelenchus mucronatus kolymensis ble oppdaget i 1 flisprøve. Siden overvåkingen av furuvednematode startet i 2000, har alle de analyserte flisprøvene, totalt 9334, vært negative for furuvednematode. I OK-programmets delaktivitet som omfattet kartlegging av furuvednematode i furubukker, ble feller med attraktanter for fangst av voksne, flygende furubukker satt opp i Agder, Østfold, Innlandet, Trøndelag og Ålesund. Billene ble kuttet i biter og ekstrahert med en modifisert Baermann-trakt. Suspensjonen fra ekstraksjonene ble undersøkt i mikroskop for forekomst av Bursaphelenchus spp. Ingen furuvednematoder ble påvist i de 23 undersøkte billene. Bursaphelenchus mucronatus kolymensis ble ikke heller oppdaget.

Wood-decay fungi are adapted to growth under different climate conditions and on various host tree species, but little is known about intraspecific variation in growth, substrate specificity and decay rates under different climatic conditions. Such knowledge is relevant to understand how wood-decay fungi will respond to climate change. Here, we investigate whether populations of the widespread brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola grow at different rates under different temperatures and water availabilities and whether the decay rate of the two wood substrates, Alnus incana and Picea abies, differs across populations. We isolated 72 cultures from fruit bodies collected in nine geographic localities across Norway, representing different climate conditions and substrates. We conducted in vitro growth experiments to assess the level of intraspecific phenotypic variability in temperature-dependent growth. All populations showed a strong but similar response in mycelial growth rates to different temperatures and water potentials. There were no consistent differences between populations in growth rates across temperatures, but larger variation between populations at the higher temperatures. Similarly, we observed no significant differences in wood decay rates across the nine populations and no signs of substrate specific adaptation to P. abies and A. incana. Our results indicate that local adaptation to different climates or substrates, as revealed by in vitro growth experiments, has to a limited extent, taken place during the few thousand years Fomitopsis pinicola has been present in this area.

Gray mold, caused by Botrytis spp., is a serious problem in Norway spruce seedling production in forest nurseries. From 2013 to 2019, 125 isolates of Botrytis were obtained from eight forest nurseries in Norway: 53 from Norway spruce seedlings, 16 from indoor air, 52 from indoor surfaces, and four from weeds growing close to seedlings. The majority of isolates were identified as B. cinerea, and over 60% of these were characterized as Botrytis group S. B. pseudocinerea isolates were obtained along with isolates with DNA sequence similarities to B. prunorum. Fungicide resistance was assessed with a mycelial growth assay, and resistance was found for the following: boscalid (8.8%), fenhexamid (33.6%), fludioxonil (17.6%), pyraclostrobin (36.0%), pyrimethanil (13.6%), and thiophanate-methyl (50.4%). Many isolates (38.4%) were resistant to two to six different fungicides. A selection of isolates was analyzed for the presence of known resistance-conferring mutations in the cytb, erg27, mrr1, sdhB, and tubA genes, and mutations leading to G143A, F412S, ΔL497, H272R, and E198A/F200Y were detected, respectively. Detection of fungicide resistance in Botrytis from Norway spruce and forest nursery facilities reinforces the necessity of employing resistance management strategies to improve control and delay development of fungicide resistance in the gray mold pathogens.
