Abstract

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is one of the most important minor grain crops in China. Head smut caused by Sporisorium destruens is a serious threat to broomcorn millet production. However, there is no information on the genetic diversity and virulence variation of S. destruens in China. To address this, a total of 51 S. destruens isolates were collected from broomcorn millet growing areas in China and characterized in genetic diversity with RAPD markers and 16 isolates representing different geographic origins and genotypes were tested in virulence....
