Abstract

The RAPD technique was used to distinguish two forms of Melampsora rust on Salix viminalis. Fifteen isolates of the stem-infecting form and 19 of the leaf-infecting form collected from the U.K. were tested with 10 arbitrary primers. All the primers generated polymorphic bands and 46 putative loci were examined. Seven primers gave a total of eight bands specific for the stem-infecting form and four primers produced five bands characteristic of the leaf-infecting form. Cluster analysis using Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Averaging (UPGMA) revealed 62% disagreement between the two forms. The RAPD band patterns of the stem-infecting form isolates were almost identical, while those of the leaf-infecting isolates showed up to 29% variation.
