title: Intra-species DNA polymorphism in the tobacco cyst-nematode complex (Globodera tabacum) using AFLP.
abstract: Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to obtain information on the within-species genetic variability of the tobacco cyst-nematode (TCN) complex. AFLP was found to be well suited to this type of study. The current classification of TCN was confirmed. Results indicate that the Globodera tabacum solanacearum group, believed to be restricted to the U.S.A., also occurs in Mexico. The within-species variability of TCN is considerable. Populations from Mexico may form a new subgroup. AFLP group-specific markers were identified for two of the TCN subgroups: Globodera tabacum tabacum and Globodera tabacum solanacearum.
