Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and quantification of fusarium culmorum and fusarium graminearum in cereals using pcr assays
TL;DR: In this article, random amplified polymorphic DNA assays were used to identify amplification products characteristic of either Fusarium culmorum or fusarium graminearum and selected fragments were cloned, sequenced and primer pairs were developed which permitted specific detection of F. graminearlyum using conventional PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a PCR assay to identify and quantify Microdochium nivale var. nivale and Microdochium nivale var. majus in wheat
TL;DR: The first molecular evidence to indicate that members of the diverse nivale variety may form a single group is shown, using competitive PCR, to determine the level of colonisation of wheat seedlings by isolates of each variety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of variation within Microdochium nivale from wheat : evidence for a distinct sub-group
TL;DR: The perithecial state of M. nivale occurred in vitro, indicating that the majority of isolates were homothallic, but not all isolates produced perithecia, and conidial width fell into two broad groups which correlated closely with the groups revealed by RAPD analysis.
