Abstract
Thirty isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum from California, Australia, China, and the American Type Culture Collection were characterized by partial sequences of translational elongation factor (EF-1α), phosphate permase (PHO), and beta-tubulin (BT) genes, restriction digests of the intergenic spacer (IGS) region of nuclear rDNA, and pathogenicity tests. Based on phylogenetic analysis of combined sequences of EF-1α, PHO, and BT genes, California isolates represented four lineages. Lineage I contained race 3, lineage II contained races 1, 2, and 6, lineage III contained race 8, and lineage IV contained race 4. The Australian isolates formed a strongly supported independent clade. There were nine haplotypes based on restriction digests of the IGS region. In greenhouse pathogenicity tests with California isolates, those from the race 4 lineage were highly aggressive on certain Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense) cultivars and less aggressive on Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivars. All isolates belonging to the other lineages caused relatively mild symptoms on both Pima and Upland cultivars. This is the first report of the occurrence of races 3, 4, and 8 in California.
