    Abstract:
    A survey of the relative incidence of anastomosis groups (AGs) of Rhizoctonia spp. associated with potato disease was conducted in Idaho, the leading potato producing state in the U.S.A. In total, 169 isolates of Rhizoctonia solani and seven binucleate Rhizoctonia (BNR) isolates were recovered from diseased potato plants. The AG of each isolate was determined through real-time PCR assays for AG 3-PT and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA. AG 3-PT was the predominant AG, accounting for 85% of isolates recovered, followed by AG 2-1 (5.7%) and AG 4 HG-II (4.5%). Two different subsets of AG 2-1 isolates were recovered (subset 2 and 3). Three isolates each of AG A and AG K were recovered, as well as one isolate each of AG 5 and AG W. An experiment carried out under greenhouse conditions with representative isolates of the different AGs recovered from Idaho potatoes showed differences in aggressiveness between AGs to potato stems, with AG 3-PT being the most aggressive followed by an isolate of AG 2-1 (subset 3). The three BNR isolates representative of AG A, AG K, and AG W appeared to be less aggressive to potato stems than the R. solani isolates except for the AG 2-1 (subset 2) isolate. This is the first comprehensive study of the relative incidences of Rhizoctonia species associated with Idaho potatoes and the first study to report the presence of BNR AG W outside of China.
