Protein patterns in Relation to Virulence of Scle-rotium Cepivorum Berk. The Incitant of White Rot of Garlic

Research Abstract
Six isolates of Sclerotium cepivorum Berk were isolated from naturally infected garlic plants collected from different localities of EL-Minya, Assiut and Sohag Governorates. Pathogenicty tests indicated that isolates No.2, 3 and 6 were highly pathogenic to garlic as compared with isolates No.1,4 and 5. Protein of six isolates of S. cepivorum was compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophore-sis (PAGE) and sodium dodecyel sulfate-polyacrylamide gel elec-tophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Protein profiles separated by PAGE, iso-late No. 1 showed the highest number of bands (20 bands), while isolate No. 4 showed the lowest number (15 bands). The number of bands of other isolates was 16 or 17 bands. Protein pro-files separated by SDS-PAGE, isolate No. 5 showed the highest number of bands (19 bands) while isolate No. 3 showed the lowest number of bands (6 bands). The other isolates showed a number of bands ranged from 13 to 17 bands. On the basis of electrophoretic dis-similarities among protein band-ing paterns, isolates were grouped by claster analysis and the results were experessed as phenograms. Grouping the iso-lates based on PAGE analysis was associated with geographic of isolates,however, grouping the isolates based on SDS-PAGE was associated with virulence of isolates
