Abstract excerpt
Scab (caused by Venturia carpophila) is a major disease affecting peach in the eastern United States. The aims of the study were to characterize the mating-type loci in V. carpophila, determine whether they are in equilibrium, and assess the population genetic diversity and structure of the pathogen. The mating-type gene MAT1-1-1 was identified in isolate JP3-5 in an available genome sequence, and the MAT1-2-1...
