Analysis of genetic diversity in Phytophthora colocasiae causing leaf blight of taro (Colocasia esculenta) using AFLP and RAPD markers
2014-03-01
Abstract excerpt
The oomycetous fungus Phytophthora colocasiae that causes taro leaf blight is one of the most devastating diseases of taro and is widely distributed in India. Molecular and cultural techniques were employed for assessing and exploiting the genetic variability among isolates of P. colocasiae obtained from different geographical regions of India. Analysis of the 5.8-ITS region revealed detectable intraspecific varia...
