Fig. 4. Dendogram depicting the relationships among rice <strong>tungro</strong> bacilliform virus (RTBV) genotypesat different sites in the Philippines. RTBV genotype frequencies were used to calculate Pearson’scorrelation coefficient between sites, and the correlation matrix was used to construct the dendogram.ConclusionsBased on the EcoRV genome profile assay, RTBV populations are genetically variablein the field. The data showed that more than one RTBV isolate could be found inone location. Even with just two planting seasons studied, results showed that RTBVpopulations exist as a diverse group of variants and are continuously evolving. Thisstudy showed that single isolates from a given location are not necessarily representativeof or specific to that location. Virus populations need to be monitored continuouslyto ensure that varietal screening for deployed rice varieties uses appropriatevirus isolates in the area.ReferencesCabauatan P, Cabunagan R, Koganezawa H. 1995.
