Zróżnicowanie genetyczne populacji Heterobasidion annosum sensu stricto i Heterobasidion parviporum w wybranych drzewostanach sosnowych i świerkowych w Polsce

The study was done in five Scots pine and five Norway spruce stands. Pine stands were infested by Heterobasidion annosum sensu stricto and spruce stands by Heterobasidion parviporum. In all stands the pathogens’ genets were identified. In Scots pine stands 54 genets were found. The biggest one covered area of 160,2 m² and was isolated from 11 stumps. 40% of genets were isolated only from one stump, but in some cases two or three genets colonized the same stump. In Norway spruce stands 55 genets were found. In most cases they were small and only two covered area of 38,5 m² and 40 m². The other ones colonized only one stump or more genets were found in the same stump. Genetic diversity among genets varied from 0 to 77%.
