Genetic diversity analysis of Rhizoctonia solani causing wet root rot of chickpea in different states of India by issr markers

Fifty isolates of Rhizoctonia solani (Teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris) collected from wet root rot infected chickpea plants from different locations of India were analyzed for variability with nine inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers. Amplified DNA fragments were 0.25 to 3.0 kb long. Clustering revealed that some of the clusters were formed on the basis of geographical location from where the samples were collected.
