TL;DR: DNA:DNA hybridization conclusively showed that the bacterium causing blight and dieback of Eucalyptus in South Africa belongs to P. ananatis, the first report in which this species has been found as a causal agent of a disease on Eucallyptus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple Sequence Repeat Markers Distinguish among Morphotypes of Sphaeropsis sapinea
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to develop robust polymorphic markers that could be used in both taxonomic and population studies and showed that the most polymorphic marker had mutations within a microsatellite sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
