The representative single-lesion isolates and their derivatives varied significantly for morphological traits -colony colour, growth pattern and sporulation on oat meal agar medium. These isolates also exhibited significant variation for disease reaction on a set of sorghum differential lines in greenhouse tests. The isolates from the local sorghum cultivars were although different from those of CSH 9, they did infect CSH 9 indicating a virulence shift in the C. graminicola population from the local sorghum to hybrid CSH 9. Genotypic variation was studied using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. A set of six random primers could differentiate the isolates. The cluster analysis indicated a very high genetic variability among isolates of C. graminicola and amogg variants from a single lesion isolates in RAPD profile. date: 2002 date_type: published publication: Indian Phytopathology volume: 55 number: 1 publisher: Indian Phytopathological Society pagerange: 19-25 refereed: TRUE issn: 0367-973X related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Morphological%2C+pathogenic+and+genetic+variability+amongst+sorghum+isolates+of+Colletotrichum+graminicola+from+India&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_y related_url_type: author citation: Latha, J and Mathur, K and Mukherjee, P K and Chakrabarti, A and Rao, V P and Thakur, R P (2002) Morphological, pathogenic and genetic variability amongst sorghum isolates of Colletotrichum graminicola from India.
