Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Fifty mycelial compatibility groups of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were distinguished overall, 27 of them with two or more isolates.
- Observation Populations of S. sclerotiorum shared a similar MCG frequency profile regardless of locality or sampling date.
- Observation The Shannon diversity index of MCGs for the whole region was 0.314.
- Observation Of total diversity of MCGs, 98.4% corresponded to variation within populations.
- Observation MCG occurrences differed among the crops.
- Observation Approximately 60% of the MCGs were unique to each crop.
- Observation Only two MCGs were shared by the three crops.
- Observation Morphological characteristics of the MCGs were not significantly different.
- Observation The dry weight per sclerotium differed significantly among MCGs.
- Observation No differences in aggressiveness were found between MCGs on celery petioles.
- Observation Aggressiveness was positively correlated with colony radial growth.
- Observation Principal component analysis identified a main central group of isolates and two other smaller groups.
- Observation Main contributors to the total variance were the percentages of large sclerotia, the dry weight per sclerotium and the percentages of medium and small sclerotia.
