Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association SIX-negative F. oxysporum isolates significantly reduced emergence of onion seedlings.
- Association On mature bulbs, SIX-negative isolates carrying CRX2 were significantly more virulent than those without CRX2.
- Association For F. oxysporum isolates, the test outcome on mature bulbs correlated well with the symptom status of the original bulb.
- Association For F. proliferatum isolates, no such correlation between mature bulb test outcome and symptom status was seen.
- Observation All F. proliferatum isolates were pathogenic to onion.
- Observation The SIX2-2 sequence was identical in all F. proliferatum isolates harbouring it.
- Observation SIX2-1 showed sequence variation that agreed with the phylogeny based on translation elongation factor 1-alpha.
- Observation Several isolates negative for SIX2-2 carried another potential virulence gene, CRX2.
- Mechanism The two SIX2 genes of F. proliferatum might have been acquired separately.
- Mechanism The two genes may encode overlapping functions.
- Observation A division into pathogenic and nonpathogenic F. oxysporum isolates was not obvious.
