Zhou, Q. X., Hwang, S. F., Fu, H. T., Strelkov, S. E. and Gossen, B. D. 2014. Genetic variation of Rhizoctonia solani isolates from canola in Alberta, Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 671–681. Seedling blight and root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani often results in severe reductions in plant stands of canola (Brassica napus), a major oilseed crop in Canada. A total of 98 R. solani isolates were collected from central Alberta in 2009–2011 and analyzed for aggressiveness, anastomosis grouping and genetic variation. Seventy-six isolates (78%) were identified as AG2-1, three (3%) were AG2-2, one (1%) was AG4, one (1%) was AG8, and the anastomosis group of 17 isolates (17%) could not be determined. Isolates of AG2-1 were more aggressive on canola than the other isolates. The genetic variation among the 98 isolates was evaluated by sequence analysis of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The isolates clustered into four groups based on a neighbor-joining tree of the ITS sequences using PAUP software, and four groups based on ISSR markers using the POPGENE program. The isolate composition of Group A in both clustering approaches was similar, and those isolates were weakly aggressive on canola seedlings. Although the identities of both groups differed, Groups B and C in both analyses included most of the AG2-1 isolates, which were highly aggressive on canola seedlings. Isolates with undetermined anastomosis grouping and isolates classified as AG4, AG8 or AG2-2 were also included in Groups B and C, but were generally less aggressive than the AG2-1 isolates. Group D consisted of only three isolates in both analyses, but their identities also differed. The results indicated that there was no association between Groups from the two molecular approaches.

Root rot is a common disease in soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) and field pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i>), which restrain increased production in Canada. Sixty-seven isolates of <i>Rhizoctonia</i> were recovered from various diseased plants in Alberta, Canada along with three isolates from diseased soybean plants in Manitoba, Canada. According to their anastomosis behavior, 23 (32.9%) of the isolates were identified as anastomosis group (AG) 4 (AG4), 7 (10.0%) were AG2-1, 10 (14.3%) were AG2-2, 7 (10.0%) were AG5, 3 (4.3%) were AG-E and the AGs of the remaining 20 (28.6%) isolates could not be determined. Isolates belonging to AG4 produced typical symptoms of stem rot and root rot on seedlings of soybean and pea and were more aggressive than the AG2-1, AG2-2, AG5 and AG-E isolates. Selected isolates of AG4, AG2-1, AG2-2, AG5 and AG-E were to some degree able to infect common crops in Alberta, which included barley, canola, corn, faba bean, flax, lupin, lentil, pea, potato, soybean and wheat. The genetic variability among these isolates was evaluated using phylogenetic analysis based on the rDNA ITS sequences and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. For the ITS sequence analysis, a neighbour-joining tree was constructed using the PAUP program, which clustered the <i>Rhizoctonia</i> isolates into five groups (Groups I to V). However, no correlation was observed between AGs, locations, aggressiveness or host origins. For the ISSR analysis, 54 polymorphic ISSR patterns were identified, indicating a high level of diversity among the isolates.

A method based on restriction analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified ribosomal DNA was developed for the rapid characterization of large populations of Rhizoctonia solani at the anastomosis group (AG) level. The restriction maps of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) sequences were compared for 219 isolates of R. solani belonging to AG-1 to AG-12 and AG-BI, representing diverse geographic and host range origins. Four discriminant restriction enzymes (MseI, AvaII, HincII, and MunI) resolved 40 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) types among the 219 ITS sequences of R. solani. Each RFLP type could be assigned to a single AG except for two RFLP types, which were common to two AG. A fifth enzyme allowed the discrimination of AG-6 and AG-12. In addition, the combination of four enzymes allowed the discrimination of subsets within AG-1, AG-2, AG-3, and AG-4. The efficiency of the typing method was confirmed by analyzing PCR-amplified ITS sequences of 30 reference strains. Furthermore, the PCR–RFLP method was used to characterize at the AG level 307 isolates of R. solani originating from ten sugar beet fields exhibiting patches of diseased plants in France. The PCR-based procedure described in this paper provides a rapid method for AG typing in R. solani.Key words: Rhizoctonia solani, anastomosis group, PCR–RFLP, ITS, identification, sugar beet.

AbstractBroomrapes (Orobanche L.) are holoparasitic plants, parasitizing roots of a wide range of host plants. In this study, genetic polymorphism among 44 Orobanche aegyptiaca Pers. individuals collected from different regions of northwest Iran was investigated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Two hundred-sixty one discernible bands were amplified using 20 ISSR primers which 245 (94%) was polymorphic, indicating considerable genetic variation among the examined individuals. The number of polymorphic bands per primer ranged from 4 to 17, averaging 12.25. UPGMA clustering using Jaccard’s similarity coefficients revealed six main groups. Genetic similarity coefficients varied from 0.71 (between individuals 23 and 27) to 0.34 (between 13 and 30). A model-based Bayesian approach subdivided 38 out of 44 broomrape genotypes into 2 genetic groups and the remaining ones were categorized as mixed genotypes based on Q values. According to an analysis of molecular variance, 99% of the total variation was partitioned within genetic groups. The results demonstrated the potential usefulness of ISSR markers for determination of genetic variation in O. aegyptiaca. Understanding the variability in broomrape is important when attempting to develop resistant host crops against this parasite.

Abstract Mulberry (Morus spp.) is a cross-pollinating and highly hybridized plant of which productivity are greatly varied in different varieties. We analysed molecular distinction among four mulberry species and varieties cultivated in DPR Korea by using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. ITS sequences didn’t represent a remarkable interspecific distinction among four mulberry species used in our study, suggesting that it could not be employed to identify them. ISSR analysis using 16 random primers generated 158 different markers ranging from 100 to 4000 bp in size. The results showed the inter-specific genetic variation (55.34%) was slightly higher than intra-specific genetic variation(44.66%), with comparatively low average number of migrants per generation (Nm) among populations (0.3886). Using ISSR primers selected in this study, in the future, the suitable breeding strategy might be established in raising of elite mulberry varieties on the basis of interspecific hybridization.

Nina Ratna Djuita, Alex Hartana, Tatik Chikmawati, Dorly. 2020. Genetic Diversity of Pulasan [Nephelium ramboutan-ake (Labill.) Leenh.] of Java Based on SSR and ISSR Markers. Floribunda 6(4): 117–126. —  Pulasan is one of the potential local fruits to be developed. This study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of pulasan of Java using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers and to obtain information whether primers of the markers could be used to distinguish male and her-maphrodite plants. The results showed that two primers in the SSR markers and seven primers in the ISSR markers produced polymorphic bands. The genomic DNA of the pulasan amplified with SSR markers produced bands 140–500 bp, while those from the ISSR markers were 150–1500 bp. The population of pulasan in Babakan Madang has the highest genetic diversity, while that of Patean is the lowest. Genetic variation of pulasan based on SSR and ISSR markers in the population and among populations have different compositions. Variation in the population is 72% while among the population is 28%. Primers of LML Y6 and LML Y12 from SSR markers and primers of ISSR 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 cannot be used to distinguish male and hermaphrodite pulasan plants. Nina Ratna Djuita, Alex Hartana, Tatik Chikmawati, Dorly. 2020.

Abstract Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], an oilseed crop, belongs to Brassicaceae family. Two unique features of camelina in comparison with the main oil crops are adaptation to different environments and also its unique oil composition. Development of doubled haploid plants is one of the essential methods for the crop improvement. This research was conducted to evaluate the genetic variation of 81 Camelina doubled haploid (DH) lines obtained from fifteen crosses by ISSR markers. The total number of amplified bands was 243, of which 239 bands (98.3%) showed polymorphism. The percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) varied between 93.75 and 100. The size of the bands ranged from 50 to 1,700 base pairs. The informative ISSRs were identified by estimating marker features: polymorphism information content (PIC), effective multiplex ratio (EMR), marker index (MI) and resolving power (RP). Three markers had higher RP values (9.88, 8.5 and 7.46) and were the most informative markers to identify the DH lines. Cluster analysis based on Complete algorithm divided the lines into five groups, indicating relatively clear configuration from the geographic distribution patterns of the parents of the doubled haploid lines. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) classified the 81 camelina DH lines into six groups. The lines grouping by these two methods was similar to each other. The ISSR markers detected high polymorphism to reveal genetic variation of camelina DH lines. The findings of this research, along with biochemical traits, can improve classical and molecular breeding programs of camelina.
