摘要：

Verticillium wilt of oilseed rape is caused by the host-adapted pathogen Verticillium longisporum comb. nov. With one set of nuclear SSU-rRNA gene primers, a PCR amplification product of ca. 2.5 kb was generated from all isolates of V. longisporum tested (36 from Europe, Japan, and USA), with the exception of two recombinant isolates. On the contrary, all the other phytopathogenic and non-phytopathogenic species of Verticillium tested (18 species, 46 isolates), with the exception of one isolate of V. lecanii and two of Cordyceps sp., generated a product of cn. 1.65 kb. Sequence analysis of the SSU-rRNA gene of two typical isolates of V. longisporum (wild radish, Japan, and oilseed rape, Germany) revealed that this dimorphism was due to the presence of an identical 839-bp intron located in a highly conserved insertion position (nt 1165 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The intron sequence was classified as group-I intron on the basis of conserved sequence and secondary structural elements. Primers designed from the 839-bp intron sequence amplified only the V. longisporum. Phylogenetic analysis based on SSU-rDNA sequences showed that V. longisporum was closely related to the genera of other filamentous Ascomycetes with fruiting bodies.
