Eight isolates of M. phaseolina
collected from different host and diverse ecological conditions
were selected for sequencing of ITS region. For direct
sequencing of PCR products, the amplified product was
electrophoresed on 1% agarose gel and the fragment was
extracted and purified using the Prepagene kit (BioRad).
Sequencing was carried out on an ABI automated DNA
sequencer, using cycle sequencing with the ABI prism Dye
termination cycle sequencing ready reaction kit following
the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. The
resulting ITS sequences were analyzed for homologies to
sequences deposited in the GenBank and EMBL databases.
