Abstract
Races were identified among butterhead lettuce isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae collected from three geographical areas of Hokkaido, Shizuoka, and Fukuoka in Japan by inoculation tests using Fujinaga’s race differential cultivars of lettuce (i.e., Patriot, Costa Rica No. 4, and Banchu Red Fire). Eighteen isolates from Shizuoka and Fukuoka were designated race 3, with two unknown vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) that differed from Ogiso’s VCG 1 and 2. These two new VCGs were obtained from both Shizuoka and Fukuoka. On the other hand, three isolates from Hokkaido were classified as race 1 and identified as VCG 1, which represents a VCG of crisphead isolates from Nagano.
