First Report of Fusarium commune Causing Root Rot Disease of Sugarcane (var. Badila) in China

Virome Identification and Characterization of Fusarium sacchari and F. andiyazi: Causative Agents of Pokkah Boeng Disease in Sugarcane

“…RT-PCR amplification of dsRNA extracted from purified virions identified four dsRNA segments (Supplementary Figure S5C). Transmission of the virus from the F. sacchari strain FJ-FZ04 which harbored FsCV1 and FsALV1 to the virus-free recipient F. commune strain GX4-46, pathogen of sugarcane root rot (Wang J. et al, 2018), were conducted by pairing both strains on PDA plates for a week. After three consecutive subcultures of the recipient strain (designated as F. commune GX4-4-V), RT-PCR was performed with primers specific to the FsALV1 and FsCV1.…”

“…The FFSC species F. andiyazi has been reported to cause wheat head blight (Wang et al, 2015), ear rot of maize (Bandara et al, 2017), and stalk rot of sorghum (Zhang et al, 2014). Recently, our team found F. sacchari and F. andiyazi strains with various phenotypes in Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan, which are the major sugarcane producing provinces in China (Wang J. et al, 2018;Meng et al, 2020). As one of the most important fungal diseases of sugarcane, PBD has long impacted sugarcane production and most sugarcane varieties grown in China are susceptible (Lin et al, 2014).…”

Fusarium commune associated with wilt and root rot disease in rice

“…This pathogen has also been reported as causal agent for wilt in E . dulcis and root rot in white pine, Douglas‐fir, carnation, maize, carrot, sugarcane, and many other plants (Skovgaard et al ., 2003; Stewart et al ., 2006; Hamini‐Kadar et al ., 2010; Kim et al ., 2012b; Yu and Babadoost, 2013; Zhu et al ., 2014; Wang et al ., 2018). In addition, isolate BD019R obtained from adventitious roots was more virulent than isolates from other parts of the rice plant.…”

“…This pathogen has been isolated from soil and plants including white pine, Douglas‐fir, carnation, maize, carrot, and barley (Skovgaard et al ., 2003; Stewart et al ., 2012). Moreover, it causes root rot disease in several plants including sugarcane (Wang et al ., 2018), tomato (Hamini‐Kadar et al ., 2010), soybean (Ellis et al ., 2013), and horseradish (Yu and Babadoost, 2013). In Algeria, 80% of tomato plants were affected by F. commune causing root rot disease (Hamini‐Kadar et al ., 2010).…”

Microbiome analysis and biocontrol bacteria isolation from rhizosphere soils associated with different sugarcane root rot severity

“…In recent years, with ratoon planting of sugarcane, a large number of pathogens that cause sugarcane root rot accumulate in plants or in the soil year by year, resulting in the imbalance of soil microbial community, which seriously restricts the development of the sugarcane industry (Pang et al, 2021;Ren et al, 2021). Among them, sugarcane root rot caused by Fusarium commune (Wang et al, 2018) occurs seriously in the chewing cane producing areas in Guangdong Province, China (Supplementary Figure S1A). Mild disease symptoms include wilt and yellow leaves, slow growth and reduction in tiller numbers of seedlings.…”
