Genetic variability in 69 Trichoderma biocontrol isolates was analyzed using ITS1 and translation elongation factor 1 (tef1) gene sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed distinct sequence types, aiding in the classification of these important biocontrol agents.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biocontrol

Background:

  • Trichoderma species are widely used as biocontrol agents in agriculture.
  • Understanding genetic variability is crucial for selecting effective strains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the genetic diversity within 69 biocontrol isolates of Trichoderma.
  • To utilize molecular markers for accurate phylogenetic classification of these isolates.

Main Methods:

  • DNA sequencing of the ITS1 region of rDNA and a fragment of the translation elongation factor 1 (tef1) gene.
  • Phylogenetic analysis using generated sequence data.

Main Results:

  • Identified 21 distinct ITS1 sequence types and 17 distinct tef1 sequence types among the 69 isolates.

  • Over 50% of isolates belonged to Trichoderma sect. Pachybasium, with most clustering near T. harzianum and T. inhamatum.
  • Within Trichoderma sect. Trichoderma, isolates predominantly grouped with T. asperellum, T. viride, T. atroviride, or T. koningii.

    • Conclusions:

    • Molecular phylogenetic analysis effectively differentiates Trichoderma biocontrol isolates.
    • The study provides a clearer taxonomic framework for Trichoderma biocontrol agents, aiding in strain selection and development.
