Fusarium verticillioides Strains Isolated from Corn Feed: Characterization by Fumonisin Production and RAPD Fingerprinting
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study a total of 16 Fusarium verticillioides strains isolated from corn feed samples were characterized by fumonisin (FB) production and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). All the strains produced FB1 and FB2 with levels ranging from 2.41 to 3996.36 μg/g, and from 1.18 to 1209.91 μg/g, respectively. From the 16 F. verticillioides strains, four were identified as low (3.59 to 1289.84 μg/g), eight as intermediate (>1289.84 to 3772.44 μg/g) and four strains as high (>3772.44 μg/g) fumonisin producers. From the total of 105 loci amplified, 60 (57.14%) were polymorphic. RAPD analysis showed very similar patterns among low, moderate and high fumonisin-producing strains. Although RAPD markers were capable of discriminating the different F. verticillioides strains, there was no clear association between these makers and fumonisin production.

Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) is not only a primary pathogen of maize, but also can causedisease in other crops such as sorghum. Pathogenicity is related to mycotoxin production such as fumonisin.In the present study, 24 isolates of F. verticillioides, which were previously identified by phenotype basedmethods, were re-identified using restriction fragment length polymorphism (R...

Maize is the dominant cereal crop produced in the US. One of the main fungal pathogens of maize is Fusarium verticillioides, the causative agent of ear and stalk rots. Significantly, the fungus produces a group of mycotoxins - fumonisins - on infested kernels, which have been linked to various illnesses in humans and animals. Nonetheless, durable resistance against F. verticillioides in maize i...

متن کاملRecent research on fumonisins: a review.
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 ...
