Journal: Phytopathology
Year: 2018

<i>Anisogramma anomala</i>, a biotrophic ascomycete in the order Diaporthales, causes eastern filbert blight (EFB) of hazelnuts (<i>Corylus</i> spp.). Until recently, little has been documented on its genetic diversity and population structure. In this study, 18 simple sequence repeat markers were used to fingerprint 182 accessions of the fungus originating from across North America. Our results, based on summary statistics of the allelic data, a discriminant analysis of principal components (DA
