Isozyme Comparisons for Identification of Colletotrichum Species Pathogenic to Strawberry

Presently there is uncertainty about the appropriate taxonomic classification of species of Colletotrichum infecting strawberry. Some workersconsider C. fragariae part of the highly variable species C. gloeosporioides, whereas others feel they should be separate. The strawberry pathogens C. acutatum, C. fragariae, and C. gloeosporioides were successfully distinguished by means of comparing isozymes for 12 enzymes and 14 putative isozyme loci (...)
