Fusarium proliferatum is a well-known plant pathogenic fungus-infected many crops. The present study was carried out to molecularly identified and characterized morphologically F. from various hosts substrates. species identity of the isolates verified as based on TEF-1α sequences phylogenetic analysis indicated high intraspecific variations. RFLP-IGS also variations which were clustered into t...

Background and Purpose: Fusarium species are avid producers of secondary toxic and carcinogenic metabolites such as fumonisin. Contamination of food and feed products with fumonisin can be hazardous to the health of humans and animals and may lead to agricultural loss. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Candida parapsilosis on the growth and fumonisin production ...

Fumonisins are well known mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides, F. proliferatum and other Fusarium species. Many new fumonisins and fumonisin-like compounds have been detected by mass spectrometry in cultures of F. verticillioides. Recently, fumonisins B(2) and B(4) were produced by Aspergillus niger isolated from coffee and fumonisin B(2) in A. niger from grapes. Fumonisin B(2) was ...

the reproductive range of the iranian population of white tip nematode in rice, aphel-enchoides besseyi, was investigated in vitro to find out a suitable medium as well as a fa-vorable fungal host for monoxenic culturing this nematode. studies were carried out on rice seed associated fungi, pathogenic fungi and one mushroom (agaricus bisporus) grown on three culture media, rpa (rice polish agar...

Funnell-Harris, D. L., Pedersen, J. F., and Sattler, S. E. 2010. Alteration in lignin biosynthesis restricts growth of Fusarium spp. in brown midrib sorghum. Phytopathology 100:671-681. To improve sorghum for bioenergy and forage uses, brown midrib (bmr)6 and -12 near-isogenic genotypes were developed in different sorghum backgrounds. The bmr6 and bmr12 grain had significantly reduced colonizat...

to identify the fungi associated with foot and root rot of wheat in the khuzestan province, diseased samples were collected at all growth stages in three growing seasons of 2004-2007. pieces of infected parts of the root and foot were surface sterilized and cultured on acidic and non acidic pda media. one hundred and fifteen isolates were obtained and on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic...

Fusarium wilt of eggplant is a major cause losses to production globally. The disease caused by many species. In this study, incidence, diversity and distribution pathogens eggplants were determined in five communities each from Ashanti, Eastern Volta Regions Ghana during the 2017–2019 cropping seasons. Purposive sampling method was used select 10 farms infected with community. Infected sampled...

The Western corn rootworm (WCR) is a serious pest of maize in the U.S. and of growing importance in Europe. Soil insecticides, the use of transgenic maize hybrids producing a Bt toxin, and the rotation of maize with other crops are successfully used to manage WCR populations. However, the occurrence of WCR populations resistant to insecticides and adapted to cultural practices raises the questi...
