ISSR markers to explore entomopathogenic fungi genetic diversity: Implications for biological control of tobacco pests

Tobacco is one of the major industrial crops cultivated worldwide. Chemical control is the main method employed to reduce damage by insect pests. The use of entomopathogenic fungi represents an alternative to replace insecticides. The search for effective strains in the field constitutes a first ste...

description Tobacco is one of the major industrial crops cultivated worldwide. Chemical control is the main method employed to reduce damage by insect pests. The use of entomopathogenic fungi represents an alternative to replace insecticides. The search for effective strains in the field constitutes a first step when developing a formulation. The objective of this work was to study genetic differences among isolates of entomopathogenic fungi obtained from tobacco grown soils using ISSR markers. The pathogenicity of the strains towards <i>Helicoverpa gelotopoeon</i> and <i>Diabrotica speciosa</i> was also assessed in order to search for a relationship between virulence and genetic diversity. Nineteen isolates were identified according to morphological features and molecular techniques as <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (11) and <i>Purpureocillium lilacinum</i> (8). The diversity tree generated by ISSR analysis showed a high diversity among the strains. The pathogenicity towards <i>H. gelotopoeon</i> and <i>D. speciosa</i> was assessed and the logistic models generated showed that <i>B. bassiana</i> isolates LPSc1215 and LPSc1364 were the most pathogenic against both insect pests tested. In the diversity tree, these strains were grouped in a same cluster with a similarity level of approximately 85%, indicating a possible relationship between virulence and the band pattern generated.
