Molecular characterizations of Verticillium dahliae isolates from grafted tomatoes grown in Antalya province of Türkiye

“…Recently, the incidence of race 2 has been increased, and researchers have been trying to find the novel resistance sources to the pathogen. Knowledge of the present race, pathotype and vegetative compatibility groups of the V. dahliae is considered to be a critical factor for the effective control of the disease (Subbarao, 2020).…”

“…Additionally, the pathogen was detected in many crops such as artichoke, cotton, bell pepper, lettuce, hop, olive, potato, strawberry, oilseed rape, mints ( Mentha spp.) and tomato (Subbarao, 2020) and can cause more than 50% yield losses on the severely infected plants (EFSA, 2014). The fungus forms microsclerotia, a durable spore that can survive for long periods of time in adverse environmental conditions or the absence of the host plant (Pegg & Brady, 2002; Vallad & Subbarao, 2008).…”

“…Recently, the incidence of race 2 has been increased, and researchers have been trying to find the novel resistance sources to the pathogen. Knowledge of the present race, pathotype and vegetative compatibility groups of the V. dahliae is considered to be a critical factor for the effective control of the disease (Subbarao, 2020). Therefore, the identification of race, pathotypes and vegetative compatibility group in V. dahliae populations infecting tomato are of importance for disease resistance breeding, besides for the efficient use of current cultivars containing different rootstock–scion combinations with tolerance or resistance to the disease.…”
