Molecular-genetic characteristics of Rhizoctonia spp., causing edge eye spot of grain crops in Belarus
Abstract
This paper describes a method for isolating of total DNA from Rhizoctonia spp. mycelium and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) techniques for the identification of R. cerealis and R. solani species using selected species-specific molecular markers. Here are the examples of PCR – detection of these fungi presented in the collection of isolates collected in Belarus by the Institute of Plant Protection.
