The genus Trichoderma contains species that are of vast economic
importance owing to their production of industrial enzymes
(cellulose and hemi-cellulose), antibiotics and their ability to
act as biological control agents (BCA) against plant pathogens.
Identification of Trichoderma isolates at the species level has
proved difficult due to the degree of morphological similarities.
Correct identification of Trichoderma spp.is also important from
commercial point of view as several traits are species specific.
Molecular methods have recently been introduced into Trichoderma
taxonomy with revision of sections. In the present study Random
Amplified Ploymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is used for the
identification and assessment of genetic diversity among
Trichoderma strains. Results revealed that genomic variability was
found to be in the range of 50% - 100% among the isolates.
