ISOLATED DNA MOLECULE CONTAINING AN INTERNAL TRANSCRIBED 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, METHOD OF DETECTING A FUNGAL PA

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.
