Generation of molecular markers for the identification of isolates of Puccinia jaceae, a potential biological control agent of yellow starthistle
2004-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) (YST) is an important invasive plant that infests millions of hectares in the western USA and Canada. Isolates of the exotic rust fungus Puccinia jaceae have been evaluated as a potential biological control for YST. The objectives of this study were to characterize isolates of P. jaceae by amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) DNA analysis and to develop primer...
