Abstract

Teliospores morphology of twenty isolates of Neovossia indica collected from different geographical regions of India was studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. The data subjected to ANOVA showed significant difference at 1% level among the isolates. UPGMA analysis divided the isolates into two major clusters. Eleven isolates were also subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis (RAPD) after monosporidial production. UPGMA clustering of these divided the isolates into two major clusters. This clustering had no correlation with the clustering based on teliospore morphology. The cluster analysis is indicative of the fact that variability exists among various isolates belonging to different geographical parts of Northern India. Teliospore morphology is a variable character, therefore, it is imperative to use approaches involving DNA polymorphism for searching variability among fungal isolates.
