The Population of in Brazil Is Structured by Mycelial Compatibility Groups.

The genetic structure of the population of was analyzed using 238 individuals collected from different hosts. Individuals were characterized for microsatellite genotypes and mycelial compatibility groups (MCGs). A total of 22 MCGs and 64 multilocus lineages (MLLs) were identified.
