Abstract
Presence of Heterobasidion annosum in Turkey has been known at least for seventy-five years. During this period information on host species and distribution has accumulated. The host range includes four Abies taxa, three species of pine, and Picea orientalis. The known distribution covers roughly the whole zone of forests surrounding the dry Central Anatolian plateau, i.e. the coastal regions of Black Sea, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. However, there is very little information about the pathogenicity and damage caused by Heterobasidion species. The current knowledge about the known distribution of members of H. annosum complex, and pathogenicity on different hosts in Turkey is reviewed.
