Vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici isolates collected from tomatoes in Korea were analyzed to determine the genetic characteristics and compared to those of foreign isolates. In comparison of VCG specificity with foreign VCG subgroup testers, Korean isolates were revealed to be VCG 0094 and to be similar to those of Israel and Florida, USA having a "Universal" property. Results of this study will contribute the effective control of disease through precise estimation of fungal damage, the prediction of new pathogenic isolates appearance, and the movement of foreign pathogens.
