Abstract

Rod Heterobasidion uključuje neke od najštetnijih patogena u crnogoričnim šumama diljem svijeta te je razvijen niz metoda njihove kontrole. Vrste roda Heterobasidion trenutno su kontrolirane preventivnim kemijskim i biološkim tretmanima panjeva njihovih domaćina, a kao nova potencijalna metoda biološke kontrole već uspostavljenih infekcija javila se mogućnost korištenja mikovirusa. Virusi su sposobni prenositi se između vrsta roda Heterobasidion, koinficirati domaćine i utjecati na njihovu stopu rasta i ekspresiju gena. Sojevi HetPV13-an1 i HetPV15-pa1 pokazali su obećavajuća svojstva za korištenje u biološkoj kontroli ovih patogena, ali dodatna istraživanja potrebna su kako bi se razjasnio utjecaj već postojećih virusnih infekcija na učinkovitost kontrole.

Abstract (english)

The genus Heterobasidion includes some of the most harmful pathogens in coniferous forests around the world and a series of methods of controlling them has been developed. Heterobasidion species are currently being controlled by preventive chemical and biological host stump treatments and the possibility of using mycoviruses has emerged as a new potential method of biological control of already established infections. Viruses affecting growth rate and gene expression are capable of transmission between Heterobasidion species, and even coinfection of the hosts. Strains HetPV13-an1 and HetPV15-pa1 have shown promising traits for the use in the biological control of these pathogens, but further research is needed to clarify the effect of existing viral infections on the control's efficiency.
