The intergenic spacer (IGS) region of the ribosomal DNA was cloned and sequenced in eight species within the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex with anamorphs in the genus Fusarium, a group that includes the most relevant toxigenic species. DNA sequence analyses revealed two categories of repeated elements: long repeats and short repeats of 125 and 8 bp, respectively. Long repeats were presen...

Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium subglutinans are important fungal pathogens of maize and other cereals worldwide. In this study, we developed PCR-based protocols for the identification of these pathogens targeting the gaoB gene, which codes for galactose oxidase. The designed primers recognized isolates of F. verticillioides and F. subglutinans that were obtained from maize seeds from sev...

Execute search by date 1/4/2021, The results of collecting samples from the regions Anbar, Baghdad, Salah al-Din and Wasit showed that cowpea root rot disease is widespread in all studied areas, isolation phenotypic molecular diagnosis presence different fungi infected root, such as Fusarium nygamai (Fu1), F. (Fu2), solani (Fu3), solani(Fu4), Rhizoctonia (Rh5), (Fu6), pathogenicity test on radi...

A unique capsidless virus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome (hadakavirus 1, HadV1), member of the extended picorna-like supergroup, was isolated previously from phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum. Here, we describe molecular and biological characterisation second hadakavirus strain nygamai, which has not been investigated in detail as host. This virus, 1 1NL (HadV1-1NL), ...

objective: fusarium species are prevalent contaminants of foodstuffs and agricultural crops.  they produce fumonisins, which are carcinogenic mycotoxins. the present study has evaluated maize and wheat samples from ten provinces in iran that were contaminated with fusarium species. special attention was paid to the ability of the isolates to produce fumonisin b1 (fb1) as a public health hazard....
