Abstract

Three species of Lophodermium are previously reported from pine in New Zealand?L. conigenum, L. pinastri, and the newly reported L. molitoris. All are saprobes with an initial endophytic phase. The North American species L. seditiosum is considered a potential threat to New Zealand's plantation forests. Because these fungi are difficult to distinguish morphologically, a simple molecular method was developed to distinguish the four species. The ITS region is digested using HaeIII and HpaII in a single reaction, resulting in unique RFLP banding patterns for each of the species treated. Two genetically distinct groups were recognised within Lophodermium pinastri, one North American and one European. All the New Zealand isolates of L. pinastri tested were identical to the North American group.
