Diversity analysis of different Diaporthe (Phomopsis) species and development of molecular marker to identify quarantine important species Phomopsis phaseolorum.

ABSTRACT: The genus Diaporthe Nitschke (Phomopsis Sacc. & Harter) infect various agricultural and horticultural important crops and cause diseases such as damping off, leaf spots, blights, canker, dieback, wilt, root and fruit rots. P. vexans, P. helianthi and P. phaseolorum are the important species within genus causing huge yield and economic loss. Being primarily seed borne it also hinders import and export of germplasm and seeds. Therefore, extensive characterization is required to diagnose and manage the disease. Seventeen isolates collected from ITCC, IARI and ICAR-NBPGR belonging to eight species were morphological and molecularly characterized and diversity was analyzed. Several morphological and cultural characters were studied and analyzed. Due to lack of suffic
