| molecular differentiation and detection of ginseng-adapted isolates of the root rot fungus cylindrocarpon destructans. | abstract the soilborne fungus cylindrocarpon destructans (teleomorph: neonectria radicicola) causes root rot in a wide range of plant hosts; the disease is of particular concern in ginseng production, and in conifer and fruit tree nurseries. beta-tubulin gene and rrna gene internal transcribed spacer (its) sequence data and pathogenicity assays were used to characterize isolates of c. destructans from ginseng and other hosts. the results of these studies demonstrated a high amount of sequence di ... | 2003 | 18943617 |
