Pulse-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) and BOX-PCR patterns were used to determine the phylogenetic relationships among 32 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum collected from banana farms in West Malaysia. Eighty two percent (25 stains) were biovar 3 and the remainders were biovar 4. Cluster analysis b...
