TODO - Presumptive mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length
polymorphisms (RFLPs) were obtained from 54 fungal isolates identified
as Verticillium lecanii, V. psalliotae or ‘V. lecanii-like’. Analysis of
the mtDNA RFLPs showed 20 different patterns, indicating considerable
genetic variation within the V. lecanii species complex. There was no
direct correlation between host and mtDNA pattern, or between mtDNA
patterns and previously described isoenzyme-defined specific groups.
Isolates from tropical and subtropical areas showed considerable
variation in genotypes, while isolates from temperate regions appeared
less variable.
