| Abstract: | Twenty-two isolates of Corynespora cassiicola obtained from cucumber, papaya, eggplant, tomato, bean, Vigna, sesame and Hevea rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) were analysed by morphological features, the differences of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (rDNA-ITS) region
sequence and the inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) technique. Variability of morphological features was observed among the
isolates. Pathogenicity tests showed that isolates from different hosts attacked Hevea rubber. Sequences of two outgroup taxa, C. proliferata and C. citricola, were downloaded from GenBank. The phylogenetic trees were constructed by using the rDNA-ITS region sequences from 24 Corynespora
spp. isolates. In this analysis, the 24 sequences grouped into two clusters (A and B). Cluster A consists of sequences from
all isolates of C. cassiicola; whereas cluster B consists of the two outgroup taxa, C. proliferata and C. citricola. However, the ITS region is conservative, and is not fit for studying differences among isolates. A total of 114 DNA fragments
was amplified with 16 ISSR primers, among which 102 were polymorphic (89.5%). A dendrogram was created by the unweighted pair-group
method with arithmetic averaging (UPGMA) analysis, and 22 isolates grouped into three clusters (C, D and E). Cluster C is
composed of all of the Hevea rubber isolates, whereas cluster D is composed of nine isolates: four from papaya, five from cucumber, eggplant, bean, vigna
and sesame. Cluster E is composed of two isolates from cucumber and tomato. These analyses showed that the genetic diversity
was very rich among the tested isolates. There are no correlations between the morphological characteristics or rDNA-ITS region
sequences of the 22 isolates and their host or geographical origin, but there is a link between ISSR clusters and their host
origins. ISSR markers appear to be useful for intra-species population study in C. cassiicola. |
