Unrecorded Fungi Isolated from Rhizosphere Soil of Fallopia sachalinensis in Dokdo Islands [PDF]
We isolated fungi from the rhizosphere of Fallopia sachalinensis in Dokdo islands. Morphological and molecular characters, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and partial large subunit (LSU) or partial beta-tubulin genes, were used to ...
