Microdochium nivale in perennial grasses : snow mould resistance, pathogenicity and genetic diversity

Forage production of perennial grass species in the northern hemisphere is limited by their winter survival ability. The predicted future changes in the environmental conditions constitute both opportunities and challenges for grass production. Overwintering diseases caused by snow mould fungi such...
