In order to determine the fumonisin producingisolates of the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC), associated with infected spikes, and ear rot of grass plants, we examined 78 samples collected from Kermanshah province, Iran. Based on morphological characters, twenty two isolates assigned to the FFSC and were identified as F. proliferatum (ten isolates), F. verticillioides (seven isolates)...

Abstract Background Apple replant disease (ARD) has been reported from all major fruit-growing regions of the world, and is often caused by biotic factors (pathogen fungi) abiotic (phenolic compounds). In order to clarify proteomic differences Fusarium moniliforme under action phloridzin, explore potential mechanism F. as pathogen ARD, role spp. in ARD was further clarified. Methods this paper,...

The effects of two Iranian medicinal plants including Zataria multiflora and Geranium pelargoniumwere evaluated on growth-inhibiting of some toxigenic fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, A.ochraceus and Fusarium verticillioides. In this study, standard Z. multiflora and G. pelargonium essentialoils (EOs) were diluted in 0.01% dimethyl sulfoxide. Different dilutions of Z. multiflor...

Enteroblastic phialidic conidiation by the corn pathogen Fusarium verticillioides (teleomorph Gibberella moniliformis) produces abundant, mostly single-celled microconidia in distinctive long chains. Because conidia might be critical for establishing in planta associations, we characterized a spontaneous F. verticillioides conidiation mutant in which phialides were incapable of enteroblastic co...

Commercially distributed garlic (Allium sativum) seed cloves from six states of the United States and mainland China were surveyed for the presence of fungi recorded as pathogenic to garlic in the literature. Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus, Botrytis porri, Embellisia allii, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae, F. proliferatum and Penicillium hirsutum, were each recovered from one or more of these ...

Fungi are absorptive feeders and thus must colonize and ramify through their substrate to survive. In so doing they are in competition, particularly in the soil, with myriad microbes. These microbes use xenobiotic compounds as offensive weapons to compete for nutrition, and fungi must be sufficiently resistant to these xenobiotics. One prominent mechanism of xenobiotic resistance is through pro...

During the 2014-2017 period, wheat samples were collected from discoloured spikes affected by Fusarium head blight (FHB) 20 locations in Serbia. After isolation, fungi cultivated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25oC for 7 days. Based situ identification PDA, 36 isolates of section Liseola selected further analyses. The pathogenicity all was confirmed leaves. virulence determined measuring leng...

The effects of micro doses dietary fumonisin, a metabolite Fusarium verticillioides, on spermatogenesis, gonadal sperm reserves and fertility rabbits were studied. Relative paired testis weight; production rate storage potential not adversely affected in which exposed to varied minute levels fumonisin about 153-161 µg/kg body weight/day over period 8 weeks. toxin also failed exert any influence...

In this study, twenty of the most common Fusarium species were molecularly characterized and inoculated on potato dextrose agar (PDA), rice and maize medium, where thirty three targeted mycotoxins, which might be the secondary metabolites of the identified fungal species, were detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Statistical analysis was performed with principa...
