ISOLATED DNA MOLECULE CONTAINING AN INTERNAL TRNASCRIBED INTERRUPTER SEQUENCE, A OLIGONUCLEOTIDIC STARTER AND A PAIR OF OLIGONUCLEOTIDIC STARTERS FOR USE IN DETECTING A FUNGAL PATHOGEN BASED ON REPRODUCTION OF FUNGAL INTERNAL TRANSCRIBED INTERRUPTER SEQUENCE, METH

摘要

DNA sequences from the Internal Transcribed Spacer of the ribosomal RNA gene region are described for different species and strains of Septoria, Pseudocercosporella, Fusarium and Mycosphaerella. Specific primers from within these sequences are identified as being useful for the identification of the fungal isolates using PCR-based techniques.
