The electrophoretic karyotype (EK) of 24 strains of Botryotinia fuckeliana was resolved to determine the extent of chromosomal polymorphism among them. Based on EK variation, nine different profiles with a number of bands ranging from 5 to 8 were found. Those profiles were not related to the origins of the strains, hosts, or year of isolation. Inheritance of chromosomal bands was studied by analyzing the EK of the progeny from crosses between sexually compatible B. fuckeliana strains that had different karyotype. The EKs of 44 monoascospore strains showed 12 new EK profiles, suggesting that chromosomal rearrangements generated after meiotic recombination provides EK variability in this fungus. Also, we report here that the degree of EK variability indicates that sexual reproduction under natural conditions might be quite important in the life cycle of B. fuckeliana. Hybridization analysis showed that, in most strains, the rDNA is located in both a chromosomal band of high molecular weight and different size depending on the strain and a band of low molecular weight, revealing evidence for chromosome rearrangements in this plant pathogen.
