Abstract excerpt
This chapter describes the use of polymorphic microsatellite (simple sequence repeats, SSR) markers for genotyping isolates of Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight. The SSR presented are particularly useful to characterize the genetic population structure of this invasive fungal pathogen, including invasion history (e.g., possible source population, introduced genotypes) and reproduction...
