Abstract:

In order to determine morphological characteristics of Fusarium species associated with root and stem of maize in Kermanshah province, duringtwo growing seasons of 2006-2008, 110 samples, mostly from diseased plants were collected from different geographic regions of the province. The collecting localities were Gilan Gharb, Sarpol Zohab, Qasr Shirin, Sonqor, Kangavar, Bisotun, Ravansar, Kermanshah, Paveh and Sahneh. About 1100 Fusarium isolates were collected and 29 species were identified. This is the first report of Fusarium pseudoanthophilum, F. brevicatenulatum,F. dlaminii, F. beomiforme, F. napiformeand F. aywerte from Iran.

First report of three new Fusarium species isolated from garden soil in southern Iran

Fifty Fusarium isolates were obtained from 20 garden soil samples in Hormozgan province (S Iran). The isolates were identified based on morphological and molecular data. Sequence data were generated for TEF-1αgene, following PCR amplification. Among the identified species, Fusariummangiferae, F.gaditjirrii, and F. decemcellularerepresent new records to the mycobiota of Iran.

Four new Fusarium taxa isolated from gramineous plants in Iran

In the course of a survey during growing seasons of 2002-04, various fields and pastures in 23 Iranian provinces were sampled. Some 1200 isolates of Fusarium from root, crown, stem and spike of various plants belonging to the family Poaceae were recovered using Nash-Snyder selective medium and purified on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Based on morphological characters, 35 Fusarium species were id...

Toxigenic potential of Fusarium species isolated from non-harvested maize.

The objective of this study was to determine the frequencies of distribution and the toxigenic potential of Fusarium species isolated from non-harvested maize left in field over winter in 1999 (N = 56) and 2003 (N = 56) in northern Croatia. Zearalenone and trichothecenes (DON, DAS, T-2) were isolated and detected using multitoxin extraction and TLC method. Modified TLC method was applied to det...

Diversity of Fusarium species isolated from UK forage maize and the population structure of F. graminearum from maize and wheat

Pre-harvest contamination of forage maize by mycotoxin producing Fusarium species was investigated in the UK in 2011 and 2012. A total of 15 Fusarium species were identified from a collection of 1,761 Fusarium isolates recovered from maize stalks and kernels. This study characterized the diversity of Fusarium species present in forage maize in the UK. The predominant species detected were F. gr...
