Abstract

SDS — dissociated proteins from eight isolates belonging to threeFusarium species were assessed and compared using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Intra and inter specific variation in banding patterns were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Special emphasis was placed on variability of protein banding pattern between two nonpathogenic strains ofF. oxysporum (C5 and C14). Protein profiles from host-associated isolates were distinct, and each isolate showed a uniquely characteristic profile. Attempts were made to provide information on the genetic system controlling pathogenicity, compared to nonpathogenicity, at the protein level. The data obtained from electrophoresis support the potential use of this experimental approach to help distinguish between differentFusarium isolates.
