Forty V. dahliae isolates wereexamined, 33 from olive in the main olive-growing areas, 2 from tomato, one from aubergine, one from the soil of aninfected olive grove in Morocco and 3 from olive in Algeria. A total of 95 polymorphic RAPD bands were obtained withten primers selected among the 50 tested. The results revealed a clear polymorphism between the isolates, whichwere assigned to 4 RAPD groups. No correlation between RAPD markers, the geographic origin or the host plants ofthe isolates was observed. ER -
