| multigene phylogenies and morphological characterization of five new ophiostoma spp. associated with spruce-infesting bark beetles in china. | ophiostoma spp. (ophiostomatales, ascomycota) are well-known fungi associated with bark beetles (coleoptera: scolytinae). some of these are serious tree pathogens, while the majority is blue-stain agents of timber. in recent years, various bark beetle species have been attacking spruce forests in qinghai province, china, causing significant damage. a preliminary survey was done to explore the diversity of the ophiostomatoid fungal associates of these beetles. the aims of the present study were t ... | 2016 | 27020148 |
