Abstract:

The genetic structures of chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, among 26 subpopulations including 757 isolates, from populations of China, Japan and the USA, were analysed with DNA RFLP. The results showed that the subpopulations from China were significantly subdivided while those from Japan were not. There is currently no gene flow between populations of Asia and of the USA; both population structures of the USA and Japan were related more closely than those of Japan to China.

Key words: Chestnut blight fungus, Population, Genetic struture, RFLP
