hazelnut industry is threatened by the disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The fungus, an obligate biotroph with a 2-year life cycle ( Pinkerton et al., 1995 ), causes severe stem cankers
Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller is the incitant of the disease eastern filbert blight (EFB), which causes severe cankering, branch dieback, and the death of most European hazelnuts, Corylus avellana L. It is an obligate biotrophic

Eastern filbert blight, caused by the ascomycete fungus Anisogramma anomala , is an endemic disease of the wild American hazelnut, Corylus americana . This pathogen is associated with C. americana throughout its native range, which spans much of
world’s hazelnuts. One of the threats to Oregon’s hazelnut industry is the fungal disease EFB caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The fungus is an obligate biotroph with a 2-year life cycle ( Pinkerton et al., 1995 ) that
