The idea that theory developed in the fields of population genetics and evolutionary biology
can be used to investigate and understand problems in plant pathology has not been widely …

Heterokaryon formation between different fungal individuals is an important component of
many fungal life cycles and may serve as the first step in the parasexual cycle and the …

A simple method is described for designing primer sets that can amplify specific protein-
encoding sequences in a wide variety of filamentous ascomycetes. Using this technique, we …

SUMMARY Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen causing
disease in a wide range of plants. This review summarizes current knowledge of …

ASEXUALLY reproducing organisms occur in a variety of taxa in all biological kingdoms1
and distinguishing asexually propagated genotypes is essential for the understanding of …

Mycoviruses are thought not to be infectious as free particles and to lack an extracellular
phase in their life cycles, limiting the broad use of hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses in …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

▪ Abstract This review examines the relationship between recombination and the multilocus
structure of populations. This discussion of population structure is based on the pattern of …

The exploitation of DNA polymorphisms by an ever-increasing number of molecular marker
technologies has begun to have an impact on plant genome research and breeding …

The fungus Sclerotinia has always been a fancy and interesting subject of research both for
