Mycelial growth, pathogenicity, aggressiveness and apothecial development of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates from Brazil and the United States in contrasting temperature regimes
Abstract:Fungi can adapt to environmental conditions and produce different physiological responses. The aim of this study was to verify the existence of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum temperature ecotypes in isolates from Brazil and the USA. Ten S. sclerotiorum isolates from tropical and subtropical regions of Brazil and six isolates from the USA were used to measure mycelial growth, pathogenicity and aggressiveness on bean, canola and soybean, as well as apothecial formation at contrasting temperatures. For mycelial growth,… Show more
