Article Description

Eggplant brown leaf spot caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 was first found in Japan in 1976, but its subgroup remained undetermined for over 40 years. We conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis using three loci (rDNA-ITS, rDNA-IGS1, and tef-1α) of two Iwate isolates, newly obtained in this study, and one Tokyo isolate, which was previously identified as AG-2-2 IV and reported as an additional pathogen causing this disease. The phylogenetic tree based on these three loci revealed that the three isolates belonged to AG-3 TM. Eggplant is the first non-tomato host of AG-3 TM to be identified in Japan.
