The present study was taken up in the Agricultural College, Bapatla during 2016-2017. Cercospora infected leaves were collected during kharif 2016 from eight different okra growing villages in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh which were used for in planta isolation of fungal DNA and amplified using universal primers ITS 1 and ITS 4. The 550 bp amplicon thus obtained was restricted with hexa cutters, EcoRI, BamHI and tetra cutter Taq1 to find variability among Cercospora isolates. EcoRI found two restriction sites in all isolates except the Yazali isolate while BamHI found single restriction site in all the isolates with length polymorphism in Yazali isolate. | Evaluation of genetic diversity of Cercospora abelmoschi Infecting Okra in Guntur district Andhra Pradesh India
