| cryptic speciation and community structure of herpotrichia juniperi, the causal agent of brown felt blight of conifers. | conifer twigs showing brown felt blight were collected along 100-m long transects at the timberline in the swiss alps and single-hyphal-tip cultures were prepared. forty-seven of the sequenced 48 strains were herpotrichia juniperi based on sequence comparisons of the internal transcribed spacers (its). a non-sporulating strain was tentatively identified as another, undescribed herpotrichia species. herpotrichia coulteri was not isolated. most strains were from juniperus communis var. saxatilis, ... | 2009 | 19450682 |
