Abstract
The 280 isolates of Phytophthora colocasiae obtained from Hainan Islan d consisted of 136 A1, 102 A2 and 42 A0 mating types. The three mating types tested were all pathogenic to taro leaves and similar in electr ophoretic patterns of soluble proteins. The representative isolates te sted showed considerable variation in growth response to temperature, in ability to produce sporangia and in morphology of sporangia. Result s suggest that Hainan Island is inside the center of origin of P. colo casiae.
