ABSTRACT:
Unique DNA sequences are provided which are useful in identifying different pathogenic fungi, such as those which infect grape plants. These unique DNA sequences can be used to provide oligonucleotide primers in PCR based analysis for the identification of fungal pathogens. The DNA sequences of the present invention include the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal RNA gene regions of particular fungal pathogens, as well as oligonucleotide primers which are derived from these regions which are capable of identifying the particular pathogen.
