  • One hundred and two virulent(V) strains of Cryphonectria parasitica were isolated from the cankers of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) trees in western Massachusetts, USA. The diversity of vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of C. parasitica was investigated. One hundred and two strains represented 54 VCGs; 38 VCGs had only one strain each, 6 VCGs had 2 strains each, and 10 most common VCGs had 52 strains. Great diversity in VCGs may due to the increasing numbers of VCGs with time since the pathogen has been in Massachusetts for 80 years. Ten vegetative compatibility representative strains were selected from the 10 most common VCGs and converted to hypovirulent (H) strains through the pairing and hyphal anastomosis of H strains (4 strains with French dsRNA elements and 17 strains with Italian dsRNA elements). All of the 10 representative strains were converted to H strains by at least more than one of the H strains.
