Use of pathogenicity and electrophoretic protein patterns to distinguish isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum pathogenic on cotton [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Eight isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum (FOV) were tested for levels of pathogenicity on 45-day-old greenhouse-grown seedlings of six cotton genotypes. Isolate x genotype interaction was a very highly significant (p = 0.0094) source of variation in wilt incidence suggesting that isolates responded differently to different genotypes. Due to the significance of isolate x genotype interaction. a least significant difference (LSD) was used to compare between the individual isolate means within genotypes, based on these comparisons, it was easy to differentiate between some of FOV isolates by their differential pathogenicity on some of the genotypes.
