Abstract

This study was conducted to compare the virulences of various isolates of Raffaelea quercivora—a fungus that causes Japanese oak wilt disease—towards Japanese oak trees. Five isolates were collected from a wide range of Japan and inoculated into Quercus serrata logs and Q. crispula saplings. The tangential length of the discolored sapwood in the Q. serrata logs differed significantly among the isolates. The trend in isolate virulence was similar for the Q. serrata logs and the Q. crispula saplings. This is the first report suggesting that there is variability in virulence among isolates of R. quercivora.
