| dna-based method for rapid identification of the pine pathogen, phytophthora pinifolia. | phytophthora pinifolia causes a needle and shoot disease in pinus radiata, referred to as 'daño foliar del pino'. this newly discovered disease requires intensive research efforts that necessitate the processing of large numbers of samples for which accurate identification, often by people not experienced in phytophthora taxonomy, is required. the aim of this study was, therefore, to develop species-specific primers for p. pinifolia that amplify the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribo ... | 2009 | 19659729 |
| aflp analysis reveals a clonal population of phytophthora pinifolia in chile. | phytophthora pinifolia is the causal agent of the recently discovered needle disease of pinus radiata in chile, referred to as "daño foliar del pino" (dfp). the genetic structure of the pathogen population is unknown, which hinders our understanding of its appearance and spread in chile since 2004. in this study, a population of 88 cultures of p. pinifolia isolated from p. radiata at several localities in chile was evaluated for genotypic diversity using amplified fragment length polymorphisms ( ... | 2010 | 20943184 |
