Abstract excerpt
AIM: The aim of this study was to develop molecular assays for investigating the presence and diversity of pathogenicity genes from the pea footrot pathogen Nectria haematococca (anamorph Fusarium solani f.sp. pisi) in soils. METHODS AND RESULTS: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were developed to amplify four N. haematococca pathogenicity genes (PDA, PEP1, PEP3 and PEP5) from isolates and soil-DNA from five...
