The genetic relationships among four Polish strains of race 0 P. syringae pv. tomato of different origin, isolated from tomato plants, were examined by RAPD and PCR-RFLP techniques. Amplification of bacterial DNA using 33 primers with RAPD technique showed, that similarity of strains expressed by the Nei-Li coefficient was very high (above 0.8). Next, the restriction analysis of amplified region ITS with the use of 5 endonucleases revealed, that profiles obtained from electrophoretic separation of DNA fragments were also very similar. On the basis of those analyses it was concluded that all strains tested constituted a closely related group. However, they showed various level of virulence as was demonstrated on the inoculated leaves of tomato plants growing in the greenhouse.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Genetic similarity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strains showing various virulence}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/118565/PDF/325-333_Genetic%20similarity%20of.pdf}, keywords={bacterial speck, RAPD, PCR-RFLP}, }
