Abstract

Isolates of Fusarium subglutinans that are pathogenic to pines, recently given the designation F. subglutinans f. sp. pini, were collected from slash and loblolly pines in Florida (116 isolates) and from various pine hosts (Monterey, bishop, aleppo, and Canary Island pine) in California (209 isolates). These isolates were characterized by vegetative compatibility, using nitrate nonutilizing mutants, and by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length polymorghisms (RFLPs)
