“…Isolates PJ-H65, PJ-H30, PJ-H5M, PJ-H42, and PJ-H67 were selected for disease experiments because Sugimoto et al (2006) had previously found these four isolates to be highly virulent on Tanbakuro (95-100%), and to induce different reactions on six Japanese differential cultivars ('Isuzu','Kitamusume','Toyosuzu',and 'Ohhojyu'). Seven additional isolates also were added for the virulence examinations: T-4 was obtained from Dr. H. Mukobata of the Toyama Prefectural Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Research Center; Shonai-3 was obtained from Dr. S. Koizumi of the National Agricultural Research Center for the Tohoku Region; and five isolates representing races 1 (R1), 4 (R4), 7 (R7), 17 (R17), 25 (R25) were obtained from Dr. A. Dorrance of the Department of Plant Pathology at The Ohio State University, USA.…”
