thirty five monoconidial isolates of the fungal culture collection pyricularia grisea were examined, to identify the vegetative compatibility groups and characterize the genetic diversity of isolates as through rep-pcr genomic fingerprinting. the isolates were collected from ricefields during 1997-1999. genetic diversity of p. grisea isolates was studied as based on dna fingerprinting through r...

forty monoconidial isolates of magnaporthe grisea were examined, for an identification of vegetative compatibility group and a characterization of genetic diversity, using rep-pcr genomic fingerprinting. the isolates were collected from weeds digitaria sanguinalis (crabgrass), setaria italica (foxtail millet), echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard millet), and some other unknown ones during 2003 - 2...

The phenotypic and genetic diversity of 77 isolates of Pyricularia grisea collected from two upland rice cultivars, Maravilha and Primavera, was studied. Isolates exhibiting compatible reaction to cv.Primavera were incompatible to cv.Maravilha and vice versa, with the exception of six isolates that were compatible to both cultivars. The virulence of isolates from cv. Maravilha on 32 test genoty...

Background: Populations of Magnaporthe, the causal agent of rice blast disease, are pathotypically and genetically diverse and therefore their interaction with different rice cultivars and also antagonistic microorganisms are very complicated. Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to characterize phylogenetic relationships of 114 native  Magnaporthe strains, isolated from rice a...

■ Abstract The blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea causes a serious disease on a wide variety of grasses including rice, wheat, and barley. Rice blast is the most serious disease of cultivated rice and therefore poses a threat to the world’s most important food security crop. Here, I review recent progress toward understanding the molecular biology of plant infection by M. grisea, which involves de...

a determination of the genetic variation of the fungus isolated from graminous weeds which is highly beneficial to know probable genetic recombination in the fungus populations was done for the first time in iran through pcr reaction. the isolates of fungus “magnaporthe grisea” from graminous weed hosts and from rice were analyzed through rapd-pcr to assay the mating type and genetic diversity....
