Armillaria Root Rot Caused by Armillaria Tabescens On Prunus Salicina in a Korean Garden

초록

The Armillaria species causing Armillaria root rot on P. salicina in Korea was identified as A. tabescens based on the morphology of the basidiomata and analysis of DNA sequences. This work reports for the first time in Korea a pathogenic fungus of A. tabescens on P. salicina. From phylogenic analysis, A. tabescens isolate categorized it as a North American species except for the Czech species. However, the European species from Italy and France were distinctly distinguished from the isolate.
