Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity among strains in a worldwide collection of Ralstonia solanacearum, causal agent of bacterial wilt, was assessed by using three different molecular methods. PCR-RFLP analysis of the hrp gene region was extended from previous studies to include additional strains and showed that five amplicons were produced not only with all R. solanacearum strains but also with strains of the closely related...
