Restriction enzyme-mediated integration(REMI) mutagenesis was used to isolate mutants of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.melonis impaired in pathogenicity. The race 2 strain Mel02010 was transformed with linearized pSH75, conferring resistance to hygromycin B, with or without the enzyme used to linearize the plasmid. Addition of restriction enzymes did not affect the transformation frequency. A total of 2929 REMI transformants were tested for pathogenicity to three melon cultivars, Amus, Ogon 9 and Ohi. The race 2 strains are pathogenic to Amus and Ogon 9, but not to Ohi. Of 43 transformants with reduced pathogenicity on susceptible melon cultivars, 12 mutants were examined in detail for pathogenicity, vegetative growth and integrative mode of pSH75. The levels of pathogenicity varied among these mutants. Two mutants(B48 and B137)almost completely lost pathogenicity to both susceptible cultivars, and the others had reduced pathogenicity. Mutants B48, B241, B886 and X36 were also impaired in vegetative growth. Mutant B809 was a biotin auxotroph. By DNA gel blot analysis, nine mutants were found to contain a single copy of the transformation vector. These mutants may thus be useful in isolating genes involved in pathogenicity.
