fusarium culmorum which is considered as the causal agent of fusarium head blight, can produce deoxynivalenol (don), nivalenol (niv) and their acetylated derivatives. this study has been assessed in order to detect the tri13 gene using primer pairs tri13donr/tri13f and tri13r/tri13nivf, to investigate the potential of f. culmorum isolates in the production of don and niv in west azarbayjan prov...

Five Fusarium graminearum and 12 F. culmorum isolates, primarily pathogenic species of Fusarium head blight, were obtained from naturally infected wheat from various agro-ecological regions of Turkey. Genotyping of the isolates was carried out using random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Sixty-five 10-mer oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify the RAPD markers. Among them, 50 primers pr...

Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum are phytopathogenic species causing scab and root rot diseases in all small grain cereals worldwide including Turkey. In this study, resistance levels to geneticin (G418) of 14 F. graminearum and 24 F. culmorum isolates collected from cereals were determined. Fungal cultures were grown on potato dextrose agar medium supplemented with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 µg...

Micro-organisms isolated from composts were assayed in vitro for inhibition of mycelial growth and conidium germination of Fusarium culmorum. Eleven bacterial isolates inhibited mycelial growth, and of these seven also inhibited germination of conidia. However, inhibition of mycelial growth was only reproducible for three bacteria. Five fungal isolates were found to have antagonistic effects on...

Fusarium culmorum is one of the most important causal agents of Fusarium head blight (FHB), results in yield and quality reductions and mycotoxin accumulation. It predominates on cereals in North-West of Turkey in cereal growing fields. In this research the aggressiveness among the F. culmorum isolates and reduction on yield was evaluated. Two wheat varieties (Golia and Ceyhan) and 16 isolates ...

Together with the Fusarium graminearum species complex, F. culmorum is a major member of the causal agents of Fusarium head blight on cereals such as wheat, barley and corn. It causes significant yield and quality losses and results in the contamination of grain with mycotoxins that are harmful to humans and animals. In Korea, F. culmorum is listed as a quarantine fungal species since it has ye...

In order to determine the causal agents of Fusarium head blight, during 2015–16, wheat heads with disease symptom were collected from 10 and six main wheat production areas of Golestan and Mazandaran provinces (N Iran), respectively. A total of 431 Fusarium isolates were obtained belonging to nine Fusarium species based on their morphological characteristics. Fusarium graminearum species comple...

this study was carried out to identify fusarium species associated with sugar beet root rot and yellows. pathogenicity of fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of fusariumyellows of sugar beet was also investigated. samples of infected roots were collected from fields in major sugar beet producing areas in khorasan province during 1999-2000. infected roots were washed, surface sterilised and pla...

Hundred Fusarium culmorum strains, isolated from freshly harvested maize grain samples from Southern parts of India, were incubated in czapek-dox medium and analyzed for trichothecene (DON/NIV) production. The mPCR assay was standardized targeting trichothecene metabolic pathway genes viz., Tri6, Tri7, Tri13 for detection of trichothecene (DON/NIV) chemotypes and rDNA gene for specific detectio...

Background: Identification and quantification of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species are important in controlling fungal diseases. Objectives: Potential of zearalenone, butenolide and fusarin C production was investigated in five Fusarium graminearum and five F. culmorum isolates at molecular level. Materials and Methods: Presence of PKS13, FG08079.1 and PKS10 genes, associated with produ...
