Fusarium solani is a fungal pathogen that infects many different genera of plants. It represents one of the two Fusarium spp. commonly isolated from agricultural soils and plant tissues in Ethiopia. To determine the diversity of F. solani in Ethiopia, we studied 43 isolates using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) and nucleotide sequences of the Translation Elongation Factor 1 alpha (TEF-1 alpha) and beta-tubulin genes. TEF-1 alpha sequences from GenBank, representing previously described species and clades of the F. solani-Haematonectria haematococca complex, were also included for comparative purposes. Phylogenetic analyses of the TEF-1 alpha data separated the isolates into three groups corresponding with the three previously described clades (Clades 1-3) for this fungus. The Ethiopian isolates aggregated into one group corresponding to Clade 3. TEF-1 alpha, beta-tubulin and AFLPs further separated the Ethiopian isolates into a number of clusters and apparently novel phylogenetic lineages. Although the biological and ecological significance of these lineages and clusters is unclear, our data show that the Ethiopian agricultural environment is rich in species and lineages of the F. solani-H. haematococca complex.
