[ Method ] The DNA sequences coding for the 5.8S rDNA and the flanking internal transcribed spacers （ ITS1 and ITS2） were amplified by PCR with universal primers ITS4 and ITS5 and subsequently sequenced for 34 Alternaria isolates from different areas of China. [Result] Sequences analysis showed that 5.8S rDNA was 159 bp and no variation in tested 34 isolates. There had variables sites in ITS. The isolates that had same sequences as A. tenuissima or A. alternata all put up eurytopicity to area and host. The variables sites of the isolates showed the diver- sity of Alternaria in the hosts of Oleaceae, Rosaceae and Solanaceae. At the same time that ITS could not clearly separated the isolates was indicated. The results indicated that the phylogenetic relationship were not closely related to the geographical origin and hosts of these isolates. [ Conclusion] The sequence analysis of ITS region could provide theory basis for the identification of Alternaria Nees..展开更多
