- Abstract
We investigated the use of single primers complementary to sequences in the terminal inverted repeat (TIR) of either Pot2 or MGR586, transposable elements found in Pyricularia grisea, for DNA fingerprinting by repetitive-element-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR). Under standard amplification conditions, rep-PCR with each single primer generated distinct fingerprint patterns among rice-infecting P. grisea isolates collected in Japan. With the Pot2-TIR primer, bands ranging in size from 0.2 to 8 kb and in number from 8 to 13 per isolate were amplified. Although fewer bands were amplified with the MGR586-TIR primer, this molecular technique should be more reliable to identify and classify P. grisea isolates by combining the data of fingerprint patterns from each TIR primer. In a cluster analysis based on DNA fingerprints from this rep-PCR with the Pot2-TIR primer, 10 reference isolates and 12 field isolates from Saga Prefecture in 2002 were separated into six clonal lineages. We also demonstrated that the 12 field isolates belonged to one clonal lineage. Thus, this rep-PCR method using the single primer Pot2-TIR will be useful for the analysis of the population structure of rice blast pathogens.
