genetic diversity in the mycoparasite sphaerellopsis filum inferred from aflp analysis and its-5.8s sequences.	genetic diversity among 51 isolates of the mycoparasite sphaerellopsis filum from melampsora rusts on willow and poplar was examined using aflp. genetic variation was relatively low among the isolates (nei & li's similarities > or =90). genetic diversity calculated using shannon index was 0.119 at loughgall, northern ireland, 0.109 at markington, northern england, 0.039 at craibstone, scotland, and 0.015 at long ashton, southwest england. at long ashton, 14 out of 16 isolates shared the same afl ...	2006	17020805
genetic diversity in the blackberry rust pathogen, phragmidium violaceum, in europe and australasia as revealed by analysis of sampl.	indigenous to europe, the blackberry rust fungus phragmidium violaceum was introduced to australia and subsequently appeared in new zealand, with the most recent authorised introductions to australia specifically for the biological control of european blackberry. markers for 'selective amplification of microsatellite polymorphic loci' (sampl) were developed for studying the population genetics of p. violaceum. modification of one of the two sampl primers with a haeiii adapter (h) revealed signif ...	2006	16431094
dynamics of introduced populations of phragmidium violaceum and implications for biological control of european blackberry in australia.	phragmidium violaceum causes leaf rust on the european blackberry (rubus fruticosus l. aggregate). multiple strains of this pathogen have been introduced into southern australia for the biological control of at least 15 taxa of european blackberry, a nonindigenous, invasive plant. in climates conducive to leaf rust, the intensity of disease varies within and among infestations of the genetically variable host. genetic markers developed from the selective amplification of microsatellite polymorph ...	2008	18641150
permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 december 2009-31 january 2010.	this article documents the addition of 220 microsatellite marker loci to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: allanblackia floribunda, amblyraja radiata, bactrocera cucurbitae, brachycaudus helichrysi, calopogonium mucunoides, dissodactylus primitivus, elodea canadensis, ephydatia fluviatilis, galapaganus howdenae howdenae, hoplostethus atlanticus, ischnura elegans, larimichthys polyactis, opheodrys vernalis, pelteobagrus fulvidraco, phragmidiu ...	2010	21565062
