Vegetative compatibility groups of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae from lettuce / M. Pasquali, F. Dematheis, G. Gilardi, M.L. Gullino, A. Garibaldi. - In: PLANT DISEASE. - ISSN 0191-2917. - 89:3(2005), pp. 237-240. [10.1094/PD-89-0237]
Abstract:
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of lettuce, has been reported in three continents in the last 10 years. Forty-seven isolates obtained from infected plants and seed in Italy, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan were evaluated for pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility. Chlorate-resistant, nitrate-nonutilizing mutants were used to determine genetic relatedness among isolates from different locations. Using the vegetative compatibility group (VCG) approach, all Italian and American isolates, type 2 Taiwanese isolates, and a Japanese race 1 were assigned to the major VCG 0300. Taiwanese isolates type 1 were assigned to VCG 0301. The hypothesis that propagules of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae that caused epidemics on lettuce in 2001-02 in Italian fields might have spread via import and use of contaminated seeds is discussed.
