Virulence differences among Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates determines host…

Differences in Sclerotinia rot (SR) disease severity, caused by two categorized pathotypes and one more recent isolate of S. sclerotiorum and measured in terms of cotyledon lesion diameter, were studied across diverse Brassicaceae hosts to characterize host response and pathogen virulence. There were significant differences (P ≤0.001) between genotypes, isolates and a significant genotype x i…
