Abstract excerpt
Butternut (Juglans cinerea) is seriously threatened by a canker disease caused by Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum, a fungus with no known sexual stage. This pathogen was first reported in 1967 and is now found throughout the native range of butternut, suggesting that it was introduced into North America. We used randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to examine genetic variation in S. clavigigne...
