Many recent articles feature research on the Fusarium tricinctum species complex (FTSC), and their authors present different ideas how isolates of this can be identified at level. In previous studies, our aim was to investigate phylogeny FTSC strains, which researchers have morphologically as avenaceum, arthrosporioides, anguioides. current study, phylogenetic maximum parsimony likelihood analy...

objective: fusarium diseases that cause grain mold and stalk rot of millet are the most important diseases, of these crops in iran. fusarium can cause stalk rots, ear rots, and grain mold, resulting in serious production losses in millet, and produce mycotoxins that are harmful to both humans and domesticated animals.  methods: a total of 23 fusarium isolates were recovered from foxtail millet ...

Fusarium avenaceum is a widespread pathogen of important crops in the temperate climate zones that can produce many bioactive secondary metabolites, including moniliformin, fusarin C, antibiotic Y, 2-amino-14,16-dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (2-AOD-3-ol), chlamydosporol, aurofusarin and enniatins. Here, we examine the production of these secondary metabolites in response to cultivation on different ca...

To assess the potential for mating in several Fusarium species with no known sexual stage, we developed degenerate and semidegenerate oligonucleotide primers to identify conserved mating type (MAT) sequences in these fungi. The putative alpha and high-mobility-group (HMG) box sequences from Fusarium avenaceum, F. culmorum, F. poae, and F. semitectum were compared to similar sequences that were ...

Fusarium isolates from highland areas in Malaysia were mostly recovered two species of grasses, Elyhordeum montanense and Paspalum conjugatum. The grouped into four morphological groups. Based on TEF-1α sequences, morphotype 1 molecularly identified as F. graminearum complex, 2 venenatum, 3 avenaceum 4 kyushuense. Restriction analysis the Intergenic Spacer region showed high levels genetic dive...

Isoflavones, Fusarium, Methylation, Demethylation, 3'-Hydroxylation, Metabolism Several introductionary reactions of isoflavone metabolism by Fusarium fungi are reported. Fu­ sarium avenaceum hydroxylates formononetin in the 3'-position yielding 3',7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone (calycosin). 3'-Hydroxylation of biochanin A to 3/,5,7-trihydroxy-4/-methoxyisoflavone (pratensein) has been observ...

Spring barley is grown on about half of the Norwegian cereal area. The rest of the area is equally divided between wheat and oats. Most years the domestic production provides 70%-80% of the domestic market for bread wheat. Barley and oats are mainly grown for animal feed. During the years 2008-2012, severe epidemics of Fusarium head blight have led to increased mycotoxin contamination of cereal...

Fusarium can cause stalk rots, ear rots, and grain mold, resulting in serious production losses in millet, and produce mycotoxins that are harmful to both humans and domesticated animals.  Methods: A total of 23 Fusarium isolates were rec...
