| Zusammenfassung: | Maize eyespot, caused by Kabatiella zeae, has become a major yield-limiting factor in maize planting areas in northeast China. Limited information is available on pathotypes, virulence, and the genetic diversity of the K. zeae population. We analyzed virulence and genetic diversity of 103 K. zeae isolates collected from six provinces in China with differential hosts and the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique, respectively. To evaluate the virulence, 103 isolates were inoculated on nine differential hosts (maize inbred lines)-E28, Shen137, Qi319, B73, Danhuang34, Zi330, Mo17, Huangzaosi, and CN165-and grouped into 23 pathotypes and three virulence groups according to the coded triplet nomenclature system on differential hosts. AFLP analysis resolved the set of isolates into four genetic diversity clusters (DICE similarity values of 76%). Genetic variation of K. zeae among and between pathotypes revealed that the pathogen population had a high genotypic diversity. The correlation between pathotypes, virulence, and genetic diversity grouping was low. A correlation between AFLP groups and geographic locations was detected |
