abstract = {Colletotrichum truncatum is a fungal genus associated with anthracnose disease in many economically important crops within the plant family Fabaceae and Solanaceae. Understanding the degree of genetic diversity within C. truncatum population will provide insights into the ability of this species to evolve in response to environmental conditions and thus be helpful in designing effective control strategies for this pathogen. In this study, sequence tagged microsatellite markers from 27 loci were used to investigate genetic diversity and population structure analysis among 99 isolates of C. truncatum from India. All the loci were polymorphic and a total of 140 different alleles were amplified. Six distinct populations were obtained based on UPGMA cluster analysis. Population V showed highest level of genetic diversity. AMOVA analysis showed that the variation occurs mostly within populations. Microsatellite markers based genetic diversity estimation revealed high diversity among C. truncatum isolates from India.}
