Paecilomyces lilacinusis a geographically widespread nematophagous fungus and a promising biological control agent against plant parasitic nematodes. However, relatively little is known about its patterns of genetic variation through its broad geographic and ecological contexts. In this study, we analyzed the genetic variation of 2 virulence-associated genes (PLSandPLC) and 4 housekeeping gene fragments (ITS, RPB1, RPB2, andβ-tubulin) among 80P. lilacinusspecimens collected from 7 locations in China. Various degrees of polymorphism and haplotype diversity were observed among the six gene fragments. However, no genetic differentiation was observed among the geographic populations, consistent with extensive gene flow among these geographic populations ofP. lilacinusin China. Our analysis also suggested that clonal reproduction was the predominant mode of reproduction in natural populations ofP. lilacinus.
