Abstract

AFLP (amplified fragments length polymorphism) and ISSR (inter simple sequence repeat) analyses were used to detect genetic diversity among 46 Phialophora gregata isolates including 41 from soybean, four from mung bean, and one from adzuki bean. Five AFLP primers amplified 55 fragments, of which 20 bands were polymorphic. Thirteen ISSR primers amplified 66 fragments, of which 45 bands were polymorphic. The ISSR technique detected more polymorphism than the AFLP technique did. A UPGMA (unweighted pair-group arithmetic mean) dendrogram was constructed based on the 121 amplified fragments with AFLP and ISSR primers to depict genetic diversity and relationships among the 46 isolates. Various levels of DNA polymorphism were detected among P. gregata isolates from soybean and mung bean. The estimated average genetic diversity is 0.079 for the population of 45 isolates from soybean and mung bean. The ISSR technique was shown to be more effective and economic than the AFLP technique in detecting genetic variation in P. gregata.
