Twenty universal rice primers (URPs) were used to
detect PCR polymorphisms in 25 isolates of six different
Alternaria species producing host specific toxins (HST).
Eight URPs could be used to reveal PCR polymorphisms
of Alternaria isolates at the intra- and inter-species
levels. Specific URP-PCR polymorphic bands that are
different from those of the other Alternaria spp. were
observed on A. gaisen and A. longipes isolates. Unweighted
pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA)
cluster analysis using 94 URP polymorphic bands
revealed three clustered groups (A. gaisen group, A. mali
complex group, and A. logipes group).
