First Report of Fusarium proliferatum Infecting Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) in China

In 2011, a wilt disease has been detected on carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cultivar 'Light Pink Barbara' in Kunming, Yunnan, China. A Fusarium sp. was consistently recovered from pieces of symptomatic tissues on Petri dishes containing potato dextrose agar (PDA). On the basis of morphological characteristics and molecular identification by DNA sequencing of ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (rDNA ITS) and partial translation elongation factor-1a (TEF) gene region, following their phylogenetic trees construction, the putative causal agent was identified as Fusarium proliferatum (Matsushima) Nirenberg, and its pathogenicity was finally confirmed by Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a wilt disease caused by F. proliferatum on carnation in China.

Fumonisins are mycotoxins mainly produced by Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium verticillioides. Because of their wide distribution, the potential health hazard, and economic significance, they are considered one of the most important mycotoxin classes. Epidemiological evidence suggests a relationship between the Fusarium load in corn, exposure to fumonisins, and esophageal cancer. However, mechanisms of actions of fumonisins are not yet fully resolved and epidemiological studies suffer from various confounding factors. Correspondingly, the most relevant congener of the fumonisin family (fumonisin B 1 ) has been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans and maximum limits have been set for corn and corn-based products. However, many non-corn-based products are also susceptible to fumonisin contamination. Indeed, some of them contain very high amounts of fumonisins, but enter the market legally. Furthermore, fumonisin exposure of consumers is probably consistently being underestimated because only a fraction of fumonisins can be detected by routine analysis. The bioavailability and toxicity of most nondetectable (cryptic) forms has not been resolved. In this work, we review the developments of cancer research into fumonisins since their discovery in 1988 until today and provide an overview of the contributions of various foodstuffs to fumonisin exposure, including those products that have been largely neglected in the past. In conclusion, (1) corn remains the principal source of fumonisin ingestion, but fumonisins in non-corn-based commodities require continuous monitoring;(2) cryptic fumonisins should be included in risk assessment studies; and (3) certain population groups (for example children) may suffer from enhanced exposure and could face increased health risks.

“…Among Fusarium spp., F. proliferatum has been identified as the main causal agent of bulb rot. It was first reported in Germany (Seefelder et al 2002) and later described in the USA (Dugan et al 2003), Serbia (Stankovic et al 2007), Spain (Palmero et al 2010), India (Sankar and Babu 2012), Italy (Tonti et al 2012), Argentina (Salvalaggio and Ridao 2013), and Egypt (Moharam et al 2013). This disease occurs after the drying process and can rot almost 30 % of bulbs (Tonti et al 2012).…”

In vitro and field efficacy of three fungicides against Fusarium bulb rot of garlic

Fusarium proliferatum has been identified as the main causal agent of bulb rot of garlic (Allium sativum L.). This disease occurs after the drying process and can rot almost 30 % of the bulbs. Few studies are available regarding the effectiveness of chemical treatments to reduce F. proliferatum incidence in garlic. The efficacy of three commercial fungicides of different chemical groups to reduce seven strains of F. proliferatum mycelial growth was tested in vitro. These three fungicides were also evaluated by foliar spreading of aqueous suspension in a field crop. Fluopyram 20 % + tebuconazole 20 % and tebuconazole 50 % + trifloxystrobin 50 % were highly effective at reducing mycelial growth in F. proliferatum with EC 50 values <2 ppm. In general, the effectiveness of the fungicides was enhanced with increasing dosage. Our results indicate that the fungicides evaluated in this study may lead to a risk of resistance appearing in F. proliferatum at low concentrations and this risk is maintained at higher doses for the fungicide dimethomorph 7.2 % + pyraclostrobin 4 %. Although several of the fungicides affected in vitro mycelial growth
