aThe total number of trees and the total number of leaves re-isolation were attempted. The pathogen was inoculated on oak stems or California bay leaves

bcolony morphology of five wt isolates grown on Petri plates was scored. 24, 24, 100, 100 and 100 replicates were made for Pr-710, Pr-745, Pr-1556, Pr-1557, and ND886, respectively

cPr-102 displaying wt colony morphology was used as inoculum. The 71 subcultures showing wt morphology were expected to display nwt colony morphology at a certain percentage upon subsequent subculturing

dMost of the tested wt isolates displayed nwt after passage through race tubes

ere-isolation was made 4, 12 and 25 weeks post-inoculation

fCriteria for scoring of wt/nwt are described in Evaluation of colony morphology in Methods
