“…Two additional pathotypes have been described amongst isolates which conform, morphologically, to W-type isolates. One, termed C-type (Cunningham, 1965(Cunningham, , 1981, is pathogenic on wheat, Aegilops squarrosa and Elymus repens (formerly Agropyron repens) and the second, termed S-type, is pathogenic on wheat and A. squarrosa (Scott et al, 1976;Scott & Hollins, 1980). The W-and R-type groupings have also been differentiated on the basis of polymorphisms of nuclear DNA (Thomas et al, 1992), mitochondrial DNA (Nicholson et al, 1993;Takeuchi & Kuninaga, 1996), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers (Nicholson & Rezanoor, 1994), ribosomal ITS region sequences (Poupard et al, 1993) and isozymes (Julian & Lucas, 1990).…”
