Re-identification of Fusarium sambucinum Species Complex Strains in Korea and Their Literature Review

<i>Fusarium sambucinum</i> species complex (FSAMSC) is an important taxonomic group, causing severe plant diseases. Many studies were carried out on FSAMSC diseases in Korea, but only 2 (<i>F. graminearum</i>, <i>F. sambucinum</i>) from 14 host plants registered the List of Plant Disease Korea. To clarify diversity and their pathogenecity, we examined isolates preserved Korean Agricultural Culture Collection. Fifty-seven strains reidentifed as 7 asiaticum</i>, vorosii</i>, meridionalei</i>, boothii</i>, kyushuense</i>, armeniacum</i>) based multi-locus sequence typing analysis. According to previous reports result this study, 5 armeniacum</i>, pathogenic 24 FSAMSC, while pathogenicity 3 kyushuense</i>) not clear.
