TL;DR: The use of a widespread fungal OTU in P. deformis enables a broad distribution despite high mycorrhizal specificity, and the Sebacina OTUs that are used by a range of Australian orchids occur on both sides of the continent, demonstrating that the short-range endemism prevalent in theorchids is not driven by fungal species with narrow distributions.

TL;DR: This study clearly shows that there are more factors involved in ascocarp production than just the presence of both mating types on host trees, and loss of genetic diversity in Australian populations is not a likely factor in limiting ascocarps production.

TL;DR: The population structure of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA causing rice sheath blight from India was evaluated for 96 isolates using seven RFLP loci and frequent sexual reproduction was indicated by the fact that most populations were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.

TL;DR: This study confirms C. beticola to be a genetically highly diverse species, supporting the assumption that some populations are reproducing sexually and there is the possibility that C. Beticola reproduces sexually.

TL;DR: The population genetic structure of wild populations of the plant pathogen Melampsora lini on its host Linum marginale is investigated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, two genes underlying pathogen virulence, and phenotypic variation in virulence.
