| characterization and pathogenicity of botryosphaeriaceae species collected from olive and other hosts in spain and california. | species in the family botryosphaeriaceae are common pathogens causing fruit rot and dieback of many woody plants. in this study, 150 botryosphaeriaceae isolates were collected from olive and other hosts in spain and california. representative isolates of each type were characterized based on morphological features and comparisons of dna sequence data of three regions: internal transcribed spacer 5.8s, β-tubulin, and elongation factor. three main species were identified as neofusicoccum mediterra ... | 2010 | 20731532 |
| a six locus phylogeny reveals high species diversity in botryosphaeriaceae from california almond. | botryosphaeriaceae are important pathogens on a variety of woody hosts, including almond, a major crop in california. almond is susceptible to botryosphaeria dothidea that forms band cankers on almond trunks, and the same fungus was also isolated from cankers of the canopy. to study the diversity and host range of b. dothidea and allied species from almond we used 132 isolates from 36 plant hosts from five continents, including 45 strains from almond in california. species were identified by com ... | 2010 | 20943551 |
