Genetic diversity and divergence of global and French populations of Septoria steviae, the causative agent of Septoria leaf spot in Stevia rebaudiana.
This study investigates the genetic diversity of worldwide Septoria steviae, the causal agent of Septoria leaf spot on Stevia rebaudiana, focusing on French and Argentine populations. Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) of five loci (ITS, LSU, CAL, EF1 and ACT) was used to compare the diversity of 14 French and 14 Argen...
