Abstract


Several fungal species of Phoma species cause important damage to fodder Fabaceae (alfalfa, pea, clover and vetch). Differentiation of these pathogens is very difficult and is matter of debate because of morphological similarity. Moreover, their host specificity is not yet well established. Attempts have been made to study inter- and intra-specific variability of Phoma strains by four characterisation methods: classical characterisation of conidia and chlamydospores, isozyme, RAPD analysis and host specificity. The results showed that the molecular characterisation with RAPD has a great potential to improve taxonomic knowledge of this fungi. At least one polyphagous Phoma species different from those described earlier on Fabaceae was detected. This fungus attacks Berseem and Vetch severely.
