Neovossia indica (Tilletia indica), causing Karnal bunt of wheat, affects major wheat growing regions all over the world. Karnal bunt ranks as one of the major diseases of wheat causing quality losses and monetary losses due to international quarantine regulations. The present work is the first report of a genetic diversity analysis of Indian isolates of N. indica. A library of N. indica isolate Ni7 was constructed in a lambda ZAPII system, and three repetitive elements were identified for molecular analysis. These repetitive elements generated complex hybridization profiles producing fingerprint patterns of all seven isolates. Copy-number estimation of these three elements, pNiR9, pNiR12 and pNiR16, indicated the presence of 32, 61 and 64 copies, respectively. Cluster analysis based on hybridization patterns grouped together moderately virulent isolates Ni1, Ni7 and Ni8, thus suggesting a positive correlation between virulence typing and cluster analysis based on molecular data. Variability analysis of N. indica isolates will aid in checking new resistant sources in host germplasm.
