Genetic diversity among isolates of stemphylium solani from cotton

HOMOLOGY AND SEQUENCING OF FRAGMENTS AMPLIFIED BY ERIC AND REP-PCR IN Stemphylium solani OF COTTON

Hammondia heydorni: evidence of genetic diversity among isolates from dogs.

Canine isolates of Hammondia heydorni from Argentina, Brazil, and the United States were analysed for genetic diversity. A total of 14 isolates were tested for their ability to produce amplification using three PCR assays, one targeting the common toxoplasmatiid ITS-1 region and 2 amplifying novel, H. heydorni-specific loci, HhAP7 and HhAP10. While the ITS-1 fragments could be amplified from al...

Genetic diversity among Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense isolates from Tanzania.

We compared 19 stocks of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense collected in 1991 and 1994 from Tanzania with representative stocks from other foci of Rhodesian sleeping sickness in Zambia, Kenya and Uganda. Stocks were characterized by isoenzyme electrophoresis, restriction fragment length polymorphisms in variant surface glycoprotein genes and random amplification of polymorphic DNA; the banding patt...

Genetic diversity and occurrence of the F129L substitutions among isolates of Alternaria solani in south-eastern Sweden

BACKGROUND Early blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, occurs on potato mainly in the south-eastern part of Sweden, but also in other parts of the country. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of A. solani populations from different potato growing regions in south-eastern Sweden using AFLP marker analysis. In addition, the cultured isolates were examined for ...

Genetic Diversity of Fusarium oxysporum Isolates from Common Bean and Distribution of Mating Type Alleles

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. f.sp. phaseoli (Fop), is one of the important diseases of the common bean in Iran and many of the bean growing countries. Incidence of the disease has been reported in tropical and semi-tropical regions of the world. This study was carried out to characterize genetic diversity of F. oxysporum isolates from the common bean by vegetative compati...
