Species identity and trichothecene toxin potential of 560 members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) collected from diseased wheat, barley and maize in South Africa was determined using a microsphere-based multilocus genotyping assay. Although three trichothecene types (3-ADON, 15-ADON and NIV) were represented among these isolates, strains with the 15-ADON type predominated on ...

Fusarium species are causal agents of fungal diseases occurring frequently in numerous agriculturally important plants, including potato, garlic and are one of the common pathogens of tomato, causing root rot in the west part of Iran. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to isolate and identify disease-causing Fusarium species from infected tomatoes based on the morphological and molecu...

Ear rot caused by fungi of genus Fusarium (FER) is one the potentially harmful diseases to grain quality in maize. Given capacity produce mycotoxins, FER presents a risk food safety. This study sought identify parents and indicate hybrids popcorn with higher level resistance incidence severity FER. Hybrids were produced from crossing 15 lines S7 generation 5 testers. The hybrids, together five ...

Assessment of eighty Fusarium proliferatum isolates obtained from maize, rice, sugarcane and onion using AFLP molecular marker separated the isolates into four distinct clusters according to their host’s. Isolates recovered from rice clustered in a distinct group. Isolates from sugarcane grouped in two distinct groups and isolates recovered from maize and onion clustered in a unit group. As wel...

We have established a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR system that can detect wheat crown rot rapidly and accurately quantify fungi, Fusarium species pseudograminearum in the rhizosphere soil of infected through standard curve produced, with view to early stage Provide help predicting occurrence rot.
