Abstract

Based on colony appearance and arrangement of acervuli twenty isolates of Colletotrichum capsici were categorized into five groups. Saltation was observed in five isolates namely C1, C2, C6, C7 and C13. The average growth rate of isolates ranged between 6.9–8.3 mm per day. The studies on molecular variability among these 20 C. capsici isolates using 27 microsatellite markers resulted in the division of isolates into three major clusters.
