Abstract excerpt
Snow mold diseases of amenity turfgrass occur in temperate climates around the world and are caused by taxonomically diverse fungal species that infect hosts during periods of low temperature and high moisture. This study used multilocus DNA sequencing (ITS, TEF, and RPB2) to explore phylogenetic relationships and genotypic variation among 50 isolates of Microdochium nivale, Typhula incarnata, and T....
