Development and characterization of polymorphic markers for the sap-stain fungus Ophiostoma quercus.
Eight polymorphic markers were developed from South African isolates of Ophiostoma quercus. The genome was screened for repeat regions using the fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats protocol and 20 de novo primer pairs flanking putative microsatellite regions were designed. Eight loci were optimized and their polymorphisms evaluated by sequenc...
متن کاملBoth mating types in the heterothallic fungus Ophiostoma quercus contain MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 genes.
In heterothallic Ascomycota, two opposite but distinct mating types control all sexual processes. Using mating crosses, mating types were assigned to ten isolates of the heterothallic fungal species Ophiostoma quercus. Primers were subsequently designed to target the MAT1-1-1, MAT1-1-3 (of the mating type 1 idiomorph), and MAT1-2-1 (of the mating type 2 idiomorph) genes in these isolates. Resul...
متن کاملAcquisition of Ophiostoma quercus and Ceratocystis fagacearum by Nitidulids from O. quercus–Colonized Oak Wilt Mats
Oak wilt infection centers are initiated by overland spread of the causal fungus, Ceratocystis fagacearum (T. W. Bretz) J. Hunt, by insects (10). Sap-feeding beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) are considered a primary vector of the pathogen in the north central states (7,9). Successful transmission by sap-feeding beetles depends on several coexisting conditions, including (i) the availability of...
متن کاملRapid detection of Ophiostoma piceae and O. quercus in stained wood by PCR.
A rapid, sensitive, and simple method was developed to detect the sapstain fungi Ophiostoma piceae and O. quercus in stained wood. By using microwave heating for DNA extraction and PCR with internal transcribed spacer-derived-specific primers, detection was feasible within 4 h, even with DNA obtained from a single synnema. This method can easily be extended for the detection of other wood-inhab...
متن کاملClonostachys rosea, a new and promising entomopathogenic fungus infecting pupa of jujube fruit fly, Carpomya vesuviana
Jujube fruit fly, Carpomyia vesuviana, is the most important pest of jujube in Iran. During February and March 2013, a survey on fungi associated with pupae of C. vesuviana was conducted in Birjand, South Khorasan province of Iran. To isolate fungi, the samples were washed under running tap water, surface-sterilized in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, then rinsed and placed ...
