The currently available morphological and molecular diagnostic techniques for Fusarium redolens and the three phylogenetic clades of Fusarium oxysporum are problematic. Aligned translation elongation factor 1 alpha (TEF-1 alpha) gene sequences from these species and their close relatives were used to design F. redolens-specific primers, and to identify restriction sites that discriminate among ...

Eco-friendly management of fruit rot of chilli was carried out with the objectives to ascertain the causal pathogens associated with the disease and to evaluate resistant sources against the pathogens. The disease samples of chilli fruits collected from different locations revealed that three isolates of Colletotrichum capsici, one isolate each of Fusarium moniliforme. F. pallidoroseum, F. oxys...

The nucleotide sequences of two endopolygalacturonase genes (pg1 and pg5) and two exopolygalacturonase genes (pgx1 and pgx4), which encode members of a major family of secreted cell-wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), were compared to detect the extent of genetic variation among isolates of Fusarium oxysporum. The nucleotide variation rate in exons was 0.23-0.93%, higher than that in introns (0.01-...

The genus Fusarium is a species rich genus. Different media are required to study the morphological characters and classify different species, a time consuming technique. In this study pectic zymograms were used to identify species and form species of Fusarium isolates. Fusarium isolates (318) were obtained from different areas and hosts in Isfahan Province, Iran. Isolates were identified to sp...

Background: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris causing chickpea wilt, a significant soil-borne disease that causes severe crop losses. Trichoderma spp. is diverse fungal bio-control agent with the ability to limit plant growth through variety of ways. The goal this work assess efficiency indigenous isolated from rhizosphere different North Eastern districts Karnataka against wilt pathogen in vit...

Fusarium isolates obtained from diseased Acacia koa Gray (Fabaceae) plants, adjacent soil, and seeds and seedpods may or may not be pathogenic on young seedlings under greenhouse conditions. This includes isolates of Fusarium oxysporum, the putative cause of koa wilt and dieback disease (“koa wilt”) in Hawai‘i. We tested 10 Fusarium isolates, made up of 4 different species (F. solani, F. subglu...

Fusarium is a cosmopolitan and highly diversified genus of saprophytic, phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi. However, the existence and diversity of a few species of Fusarium are restricted to a certain area or climatic condition. The present study was conducted to determine the occurrence and diversity of Fusarium species in tropical highland areas in Malaysia and to compare with those in temp...

Fusarium is a rapidly emerging, multidrug-resistant genus of fungal opportunists that was first identified in 1958 and is presently recognized in numerous cases of fusariosis each year. The authors examined trends in global Fusarium distribution, clinical presentation and prevalence since 1958 with the assumption that their distributions in each region had remained unaltered. The phylogeny and ...

In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to determine the amount of Fusarium oxysporum, an important replant disease pathogen in Pseudostellaria heterophylla rhizospheric soil. Moreover, HPLC was used to identify phenolic acids in root exudates then it was further to explore the effects of the phenolic acid allelochemicals on the growth of F. oxysporum f.sp. heterophylla. The a...
