Multiple Choice
Use the following information to answer the question.
Heterobasidion is a basidiomycete that contributes to mortality of trees. Kuhlman isolated 23 strains of Heterobasidion and applied them to 16 seedlings of 10 different tree species. Partial results of this experiment are shown in the table. (From Kuhlman, E. G. 1970. Seedling inoculations with Fomes annosus show variation in virulence and in host susceptibility. Phytopathology 60:1743-1746. https://www.apsnet.org/publications/phytopathology/backissues/Documents/1970Articles/Phyto60n12_1743.PDF)

B) Heterobasidion strains are equally lethal to all tree species.
C) Heterobasidion strains vary in their effect on tree species.
D) Some strains of Heterobasidion reduce tree mortality.
