  "abstract": "<p>This study was carried out to determine anastomosis groups and pathogenicity of 166&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia&nbsp;</em>isolates obtained from strawberry plant samples in Erzincan province, Turkey during 2009 and 2010.&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em>&nbsp;species and anastomosis groups (AGs) of all the isolates were determined using classical techniques. Molecular characterizations of the selected&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em>&nbsp;isolates were performed by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Of these, 155 isolates were identified as binucleate (BN)&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia&nbsp;</em>spp., and 11 isolates were as multinucleate (MN)&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia solani</em>. Three BN&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em>&nbsp;isolates were identified as&nbsp;<em>Ceratobasidium albasitensis</em>, the remaining BN&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em>&nbsp;isolates were assigned to AG-A (54 isolates), AG-E (11 isolates), AG-G (37 isolates), AG-H (6 isolates), AG-K (44 isolates).&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em><em>&nbsp;solani&nbsp;</em>isolates were classified as AG-2-1 (4 isolates), AG-4 HGII (3 isolates) and AG-5 (4 isolates). Pathogenicity test was conducted on strawberry plants (cv. Fern), and AG-G isolates were found to constitute the highest disease severity than other species or AGs of&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em>&nbsp;obtained in this study. BN&nbsp;<em>Rhizoctonia</em>&nbsp;AG-E,&nbsp;<em>R. solani</em>&nbsp;AG-5 and&nbsp;<em>C. albasitensis</em> were first time reported on strawberry plants in Turkey.</p>",
