Abstract

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) were evaluated as tools for identifying species of Phytophthora. Five isolates of each of Phytophthora cactorum, Phytophthora citrophthora, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Phytophthora nicotianae and Phytophthora cryptogea were subjected to both analyses to examine variation among and within species. In FAME analysis, isolates of P. cactorum, P. cinnamomi and P.nicotianae were clustered by species, but isolates of P. citrophthora and P.cryptogea were divided into multiple clusters based on greater variations within these two species. The AFLP analysis differentiated all five species of Phytophthora. The five isolates of each species were grouped in a separate terminal cluster, but diversity within a species cluster varied considerably with variation greater in P. cryptogea and P. citrophthora. Comparing the dendrograms based on FAME and AFLP analyses, the overall patterns of both were similar. The P. cactorum cluster was distinct from clusters of the other four species, which formed one large cluster. The higher values of percentages of polymorphic loci and gene diversity in AFLP analysis substantiated diversity observed among isolates of P. citrophthora and P. cryptogea in FAME and AFLP dendrograms. Both FAME and AFLP appear to be useful tools for identifying species of Phytophthora, but only AFLP analysis has potential to study genetic and phylogenetic relationships within and among species in this genus.
