초록

Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most destructive disease on potato and tomato cultivation. To analysis genetic diversity P. infeatans isolates were collected from potato and tomato fields in Korea. These pathogens contained both Al and A2 mating type with metalaxyl-resistant and sensitive isolates. Polymorphisms showed base on RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) in both potato and tomato isolates of P. infestans. Cluster analysis showed high level genetic variation in potato isolates of P. infestans than tomato isolates. P. infestans isolates were observed genetic diversity among them but not grouped among isolates related mating type and metalaxyl response. These results exhibited that P. infestans isolates showing genetic difference among them were distributed in Korea.
