Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cylindrocarpon-like Fungi Infecting Ginseng Roots in Northeast China.

ABSTRACT: Northeast China is well known for cultivating ginseng (Panax ginseng and P. quinquefolius). Ginseng roots are threatened by the infection of the most notorious Cylindrocarpon-like fungi (CLF), which are a complex containing important soilborne pathogens. Although the disease is economically important, little is known about the genetic diversity and population structure of the pathogenic CLF complex. This knowledge will help in developing effective disease management strategies. To conduct this study, diseased ginseng roots were collected from 12 regions representing the main ginseng-growing areas in Northeast China, and CLF were isolated. A total of 169 isolates with CLF anamorph were identified in two Dactylonectria species and six Ilyonectria species us
