Mixed model analysis combining disease ratings and DNA sequences to determine host range of Uromyces salsolae for biological control of Russian thistle
2009-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Russian thistle or tumbleweed (Salsola tragus L.) is an introduced invasive weed in N. America. It is widely distributed in the U.S. and is a target of biological control efforts. The obligate biotrophic rust fungus Uromyces salsolae Reichardt is a candidate biological control agent of Russian thistle, and host range tests were conducted in quarantine to determine whether the fungus is safe to release in N. Americ...
