Abstract:
The molecular approach has been used to distinguish between Armillaria species because of the ambiguity when using morphological traits. PCR-DGGE using the fungal primers ITS3GC-ITS4 enables a selective separation of amplicons and results in a simple and rapid approach to discriminate in one-step the most common Armillaria species in Europe.
