Molecular identification of decay fungi in the wood of urban trees

Trees are valuable for urban areas, however, are also susceptible to wood rot fungi. For accurate and fast assessment of the severity and evolution of decay in standing trees, a molecular technique was used to identify the causal agents of wood rot. Fruit bodies of wood decay fungi were collected from infected trees in various stands in Germany. Thirty-six species were identified by traditional methods. The DNA of fruit bodies was extracted, ITS-rDNA amplified by PCR, and ITS regions sequenced. Wood samples from infected urban trees were collected, the entire DNA extracted from affected wood parts, and fungal ITS amplified and sequenced. Fungal species were identified by comparing sequence data with the fruit body data. The technique enables and accurate and rapid identification of causal rot fungi in urban trees
