ABSTRACT
In this study, mycelial compatibility grouping (MCG) of
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
(Lib.) de Bary was determined in 15 infected
potato fields in Bahar and Lelehjin, Hamadan, Iran. Among 193 isolates, 37 MCGs were identified and 67% were represented by single
isolates observed at single locations. Within Bahar fields, 29 MCGs were identified and 15 MCGs were recognized in Lalehjin samples.
MCGs 2, 6, 18 and 25 were collected at high frequency from multiple locations. The efficacy of Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) amended
with activated charcoal for identifying MCGs in this fungus was tested in doubtful reactions and proved to be an effective medium.
The activated charcoal produced a black reaction area in incompatible interactions as well as a red reaction line in PDA amended with
McCormick’s red food coloring.
