PROTECTION OF PLANTS USING RHIZOCTONIA

摘要

Protection of plants against pathogenic fungi is achieved by the use of binucleate Rhizoctonia selected through the molecular detection of certain ITS ribosomal sequences, the protective strains suitably being members of a phylogenetically differentiated cluster. A new group of binucleate Rhizoctonia is thereby provided. ITS data, especially the ITS1 data, is employed to distinguish suitable isolates.
