Title:

High levels of genetic variation exist in Aspergillus niger populations infecting Welwitschia mirabilis Hook

Author(s):
Pekarek E, Jacobson K, Donovan A
Publication Year:
2006
Abstract:

Aspergillus niger is an asexual, haploid fungus which infects the seeds of Namibia's national plant, Welwitschia mirabilis, severely affecting plant viability. We used 31 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers to assess genetic variation among 89 A. niger isolates collected from three W. mirabilis populations in the Namib Desert.
