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 of F...

Medicinal plants are infected by fungal diseases. A four years survey indicated that, there are various fungal infections in roots and shoots of several medicinal plants that grown in Isfahan. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), rosemarry (Rosmarinus officinalis) and viper’s bugloss (Borago officinalis) plants were infected by Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani on roots, showing wilting and eventu...

Fusarium disease causes considerable losses in the cultivation of Piper nigrum, the black pepper used in the culinary world. Brazil was the largest producer of black pepper, but in recent years has lost this hegemony, with a significant reduction in its production, due to the ravages produced by the Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, the fungus which causes this disease. Scientific research seeks ...

Seed health testing by studying the seed-borne fungi of soybean seeds is an important step in the management of the seed-borne diseases. In the present study seed-borne fungi was studied by using agar plate method. A number of seed-borne fungal species was isolated from the agar plate. These seed-borne fungal sps. were Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, Chaetomium globosum, Curvularia ...

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean has become a serious constraint to the production of this crop in North and South America. Phenotypic and multilocus molecular phylogenetic analyses, as well as pathogenicity experiments, have demonstrated that four morphologically and phylogenetically distinct fusaria can induce soybean SDS. Published molecular diagnostic assays for the detection and iden...

PURPOSE To determine the role of the integrin-FAK signaling pathway triggered by the adherence of F. solani to human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). METHODS After pretreatment with/without genistein, HCECs were incubated with F. solani spores at different times (0-24 h). Cell adhesion assays were performed by optical microscopy. Changes of the ultrastructure were observed using scanning ele...

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...

Several species in the Euwallacea fornicatus complex have emerged as important pests of woody plants globally, particularly habitats where they are invasive aliens. These beetles live obligate symbioses with fungi genus Fusarium. In this study, we identified spp. and their fungal mutualists that planted Acacia crassicarpa Riau, Indonesia. Morphological identification phylogenetic analyses mitoc...

environmental factors mainly temperature are believed to determine the distribution and population dynamics of fusarium species in a natural ecosystem. species may be restricted in their distribution by adaptation to specific sets of soil environmental conditions. population dynamics of five fusarium species representative of different climatic conditions were studied at three levels of tem...
