Abstract: | The population structure of Magnaporthe oryzae from green foxtail (Setaria viridis) in Japan was examined by DNA fingerprint analyses using the transposable elements MGR586 and MAGGY as probes. Fifteen M. oryzae isolates from green foxtail were collected from 11 Japanese prefectures so that a macrogeographic population of this pathogen
is represented. All the 15 isolates were sorted into distinct haplotypes by DNA fingerprint analyses with both probes. Furthermore,
similarities between the DNA fingerprint profiles of the 15 isolates were exclusively low; i.e., if lineages are arbitrarily
established based on greater than 70% similarities in isolates, the 15 isolates could be categorized into 13 distinct lineages
by DNA fingerprinting with both probes. We also examined the MGR586 DNA fingerprint variations of this pathogen in 9 microgeographic
populations each of which contained 20 to 24 isolates collected from a 1 m2 or 50 m2 area. In all the 9 populations, more than 2 haplotypes, which shared less than 70% similarities, were identified in the DNA
fingerprint profiles. These results suggested that M. oryzae isolates from the green foxtail in Japan possessed a complex lineage structure, even at the microgeographic scale. |
