Abstract

<p>This study was undertaken to improve understanding of the phylogenetic position of pathogenic fungi implicated in the oak wilt in Japan. Sequences were obtained from three regions of partial nuclear ribosomal DNA of 25 isolates of Raffaelea quercivora including an ex-type strain, all of which were collected from seven areas of disease outbreak. All the isolates formed one clear clade with high bootstrap values, distinctly delimited from the closest species, R. montetyi. These results indicate that the R. quercivora is phylogenetically a well-defined taxon.</p>
