Abstract: Conifer root and butt rots is an common forest disease in the north temperate zone, and the pathogen is Heterobasidion spp. But with the development of molecular biology, transcriptomics and genomics, we will change our mind to the genes related to controlling efficacy of Phlebiopsis gigantea. Phlebiopsis gigantea is the best antagonistic fungus to prevent the disease. This paper began with controlling Heterobasidion spp. and expounded research progress of controlling conifer root and butt rots by Phlebiopsis gigantea, which included the history of controlling disease, products based on Phlebiopsis gigantea, the mechanisms, ecological influence and process of screening.

Key words: Conifer root and butt rots, Phlebiopsis gigantea, Heterobasidion, Biological control Research progress
