The Moko of banana and heliconia caused by Ralstonia solanacearum race 2 biovar 1 is a major disease of these crops, depending on the economic risks posed to the Brazilian regions, especially the Northeast, the largest producer of banana in Brazil. R. solanacearum is a quarantine pest present (A2) restricted to the states of Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Pernambuco, Rondônia, Roraima and Sergipe. The objective of this study was to analyze the diversity of 38 isolates of banana and heliconia, to characterize their phenotypic, pathogenic, genetic diversity, and phylogenetic position. All isolates clustered in phylotype II. Phylogenetic analysis of egl gene revealed the presence of sequevars IIA-6 and IIA-24 already described for Moko and two sequevars (IIA-41 and IIB-25) not related to Moko till now but to solanaceas. A new sequevar for the R. solanacearum complex related to Moko was also proposed, IIA-53. All isolates were pathogenic to banana plants and 12 isolates were also able to cause wilt in tomato plants. The analysis of BOX-PCR showed high variability within the population, with formation of 19 groups, 13 of them consisting of a single isolated. The biochemical profiles obtained by Biolog® Gen III system also confirmed the high variability among isolates.
