Fusarium
''Fusarium'' (; ) is a large genus of filamentous fungi, part of a group often referred to as hyphomycetes, widely distributed in soil and associated with plants. Most species are harmless saprobes, and are relatively abundant members of the soil microbial community. Some species produce mycotoxins in cereal crops that can affect human and animal health if they enter the food chain. The main toxins produced by these ''Fusarium'' species are fumonisins and trichothecenes. Despite most species apparently being harmless (some existing on the skin as commensal members of the skin flora), some ''Fusarium'' species and subspecific groups are among the most important fungal pathogens of plants and animals. The name of ''Fusarium'' comes from Latin ''fusus'', meaning a spindle. Taxonomy The taxonomy of the genus is complex. A number of different schemes have been used, and up to 1,000 species have been identified at times, with approaches varying between wide and narrow concep ...

Fusarium Culmorum
''Fusarium culmorum'' is a fungal plant pathogen and the causal agent of seedling blight, foot rot, ear blight, stalk rot, common root rot and other diseases of cereals, grasses, and a wide variety of monocots and dicots. In coastal dunegrass ('' Leymus mollis''), ''F. culmorum'' is a nonpathogenic symbiont conferring both salt and drought tolerance to the plant. Identification Colonies grow rapidly on potato dextrose agar. The aerial mycelium is whitish to yellow, tan or pale orange, but becomes brown to dark brown to red-brown with age. Under alternating conditions of light and temperature, rings of spore masses may be formed by some isolates. Macroconidia Microconidia are absent, but macroconidia are usually abundant. The sporodochia are orange to brown color and relatively common. The macroconidia are thick and bluntly pointed at their apex, and conspicuously wider above the center of the spore. The dorsal side is somewhat curved, but the ventral side i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fusarium Acuminatum
''Fusarium acuminatum'' is a fungal plant pathogen. It was originally found on the living stems of ''Solanum tuberosum'' in New York, USA. ''Fusarium acuminatum'' has been found to be a ripe rot pathogen of ''Actinidia chinensis'' var. ''deliciosa'' (fuzzy kiwifruit) in New Zealand. It has been found to cause post-harvest Rot on stored kiwiberries ('' Actinidia arguta'') in China. It was described as soft, brown, slightly sunken, water-soaked lesions with abundant white-to-pink mycelium Mycelium (: mycelia) is a root-like structure of a fungus consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. Its normal form is that of branched, slender, entangled, anastomosing, hyaline threads. Fungal colonies composed of mycelium are fo .... It also causes root rot of Maidong ('' Ophiopogon japonicus'') in China. ''Fusarium acuminatum'' and '' Fusarium solani'' are known to be major pathogens causing root rot of '' Astragalus membranaceus'' (Mongolian milkvetch), which can lead to s ...

Fusarium Circinatum
''Fusarium circinatum'' is a fungal plant pathogen that causes the serious disease pitch canker on pine trees and Douglas firs (''Pseudotsuga menziesii''). The most common hosts of the pathogen include slash pine ('' Pinus elliottii''), loblolly pine ('' Pinus taeda''), Monterey pine ('' Pinus radiata''), Mexican weeping pine ('' Pinus patula''), and Douglas fir. Like other ''Fusarium'' species in the phylum Ascomycota, it is the asexual reproductive state of the fungus and has a teleomorph, ''Gibberella circinata''. Distribution This fungus is believed to have originated in Mexico. It spread to the eastern United States in 1946 and by 1986 had reached the western United States. It was first recorded in Japan in the 1980s, in South Africa in 1990, in Chile and Spain in the mid-1990s and in Italy in 2007. Host species In California this canker has been recorded on nine different species of pine (''Pinus'') and on Douglas fir (''Pseudotsuga menziesii''). In Europe and Asia it has ...

Trichothecenes
Trichothecenes constitute a large group of chemically related mycotoxins. They are produced by Fungus, fungi of the genera ''Fusarium'', ''Myrothecium'', ''Trichoderma'', ''Podostroma'', ''Trichothecium'', ''Cephalosporium'', ', ''Stachybotrys'' (most in Hypocreales) and possibly others. Chemically, trichothecenes are a class of sesquiterpenes. All trichothecenes share the Cyclic compound, cyclic sesquiterpene structure but differ in the type of functional group attached to the carbon backbone. They are produced on many different grains such as wheat, Oat, oats, or maize by various ''Fusarium'' species including ''Gibberella zeae, F. graminearum'', ''Fusarium sporotrichioides, F. sporotrichioides'', ''F. poae,'' and ''Fusarium equiseti, F. equiseti''. Some moulds that produce trichothecene mycotoxins, such as ''Stachybotrys chartarum'', can grow in damp indoor environments. It has been found that macrocyclic trichothecenes produced by ''Stachybotrys chartarum, S. chartarum'' can ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fusarium Fujikuroi
''Gibberella fujikuroi'' is a fungal plant pathogen. It causes ''bakanae'' disease in rice seedlings. Another name is foolish seedling disease. It gets that name because the seeds can be infected, leading to disparate outcomes for the plant. There are not many diseases that initiate similar symptoms as bakanae. Hosts and symptoms ''Gibberella fujikuroi'' is most widely known for its disease producing capabilities in rice, but barley, millet, sugarcane and maize are also susceptible. In all infected plants, similar symptoms have been found, though rice has been most predominantly studied. The most telltale symptom of Bakanae is the tall, spindly look of the plant. This is a result of the gibberellins, or growth hormones, the fungus secretes. Infected plants are easy to pick out, then, as they often rise above the rest of the healthy plants with regularly secreted growth hormones. However, it is also possible that stunting may occur, along with Chlorosis of the leaves of the pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
