Abstract

A collaborative project between the Programa de Fitopatología, Colegio de Postgraduados, Texcoco, Edo. de México and the USDA Forest Service-RMRS, Moscow Forest Pathology Laboratory began in 2011 to identify which species of Armillaria are causing widespread and severe damage to the peach orchards from México State, México. We are employing a DNA-based approach in which the intergenic spacer 1 region (IGS1) of nuclear rDNA and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha gene will be sequenced and compared to known Armillaria species to facilitate species identification.
