RESUMO

The genetic diversity of Sporisorium scitamineum, the sugarcane smut agent, was characterized in a 14 isolates collection. The isolates were obtained from various sugarcane growing areas and RFLP of the telomeric region was used as molecular marker, compared with AFLP. Teliospores were collected from the whip of infected plants. Teliospores are diploids and germinate producing a probasidium where meiosis takes place originating four haploid cells. These cells if sexually compatible can fuse and a dikaryotic mycelium is formed. The haploid phase, derived from each dikaryotic line obtained from teliósporos, was used to perform the analysis. Our results showed that 40 polymorphic loci (3%) were described among 1,311 analyzed. These were obtained with two rare-cutter restriction enzymes, one frequent-cutter restriction enzyme and 19 primers combinations. The RFLP markers were more efficient when compared to AFLP to reveal polymorphisms. Three restriction enzymes produced 102 loci, from which 36 were polymorphic (34.3%). Clustering using similarity coefficients and results obtained by Structure software revealed two genotypic groups. The analyses were performed with individual markers and combining RFLP and AFLP markers. Locations were not responsible for clustering, and low flux of isolates was evident. The opposite sexual types haploid derivatives originated from the same teliospore were clustered together, with only one exception. This implies that sporideos that are located close together are more likely to fuse. Our data suggest that choosing RFLP as markers were the key for unrevealing diversity among isolates of S. scitamineum. RFLP-tel revealed almost unique DNA fingerprintings to various isolates. A second contribution of this work was that heterozygous were detected when considering a combined analyses of haploids derivatives from the same teliospore. This is the first time a study of this nature was organized with Brazilian isolates of S. scitamineum.
