There were only small intra-group differences. The electrophoretic patterns of an isolate of Whetzelinia (= Sclerotinia) tuberosa were characteristically different from those of the other isolates. These results support the findings from previous studies when ontogenetic, electrophoretic and mycelial-interaction criteria were used to group a smaller number of isolates from New South Wales. Australia. It is concluded that S. sclerotiorum, S. trifoliorum and S. minor are three distinct species., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-90-2-355
