Abstract: | An oligonucleotide (primer), designed from a conserved region of the multi-allelicb locus of the basidiomycete fungusUstilago maydis, generated reproducible PCR fingerprints inPhytophthora species. The primer hybridized in a species-specific manner to nucleotide sequences interspersed in the genome of the closely related members ofPhytophthora taxonomic group IV. We recommend the use of this PCR procedure as an alternative method for resolving the close taxonomic affinity of some members of the genusPhytophthora. |
