“…The relationships among F. concentricum, F. fujikuroi, F. proliferatum and both isolates are unclear, but they share the same ITS sequence with a specimen of the first mentioned species, while only one base change differentiates their ITS sequence from those obtained from the type material of F. fujikuroi and several specimens of F. proliferatum. Some members of the FFSC cause severe diseases in economically important plants [82][83][84][85][86]. Moreover, F. fujikuroi is known to act as an entomopathogenic fungi but, to our knowledge, only F. proliferatum has been previously associated to mycotic infections in turtle eggs [87].…”

The endangered yellow-spotted river turtle (Podocnemis unifilis) has experienced a dramatic population decline in the Ecuadorian Amazonia, mainly due to overexploitation of its eggs. To reverse this trend, the Wildlife Conservation Society has developed a head-start program in Yasuní National Park since 2008, but the potential risk that microbes associated with its eggs might represent for hatching success has not been evaluated yet. Members of the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) are involved in egg failure in sea turtles under natural and hatchery conditions, but their role in infecting the eggs of P. unifilis is unknown. In this study, we collected eggshells of P. unifilis and obtained 50 fungal and bacterial isolates. Some potentially pathogenic fungi of the genera Fusarium, Penicillium and Rhizopus were identified based on molecular data. Most importantly, the sea turtle pathogenic species F. keratoplasticum not only was present, but it was the most frequently found. Conversely, we have also isolated other microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas or Phoma-like species, producing a wide spectrum of antifungal compounds that may have a protective role against fungal diseases. Our survey provides useful information on potential pathogens found in P. unifilis eggshells, upon which the success of conservation programs may depend.

“…Fusarium proliferatum is a member of the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex, which is comprised at least of 15 reproductively isolated biological species (mating populations), and infects a broad range of plant species and produces a range of mycotoxins (Leslie et al 2004;Niehaus et al 2016). Some of the more economically important host species affected by F. proliferatum are asparagus (Elmer 1990(Elmer , 1995Borrego-Benjumea et al 2014), alfalfa (Cong et al 2016), banana (Jimenez et al 1993), citrus fruits (Hyun et al 2000), corn (Logrieco et al 1995;Munkvold 2003), garlic (Dugan et al 2003;Palmero et al 2012;Galvez et al 2017), mango (Zhan et al 2010), onion (Stankovic et al 2007;Carrieri et al 2013), orchids (Benyon et al 1996), peach palm (Jarek et al 2018), pistachio (Crespo et al 2019), rice (Desjardins et al 2000;Kim et al 2012;Quazi et al 2013;Choi et al 2017Choi et al , 2018, safflower (Kim et al 2016), sesame (Torabi et al 2014), soybean (Chang et al 2015), sorghum (Leslie 2003), strawberry (Borrero et al 2019), and wheat (Jurado et al 2006;Conner et al 2009). Symptoms on these hosts included damping-off, wilting, yellowing of leaves, soft rot, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, as well as blackening of the crown and roots of diseased plants as seen on palm and strawberry plants (Jarek et al 2018;Borrero et al 2019).…”

First report of Fusarium proliferatum causing crown and stem rot, and pith necrosis, in cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) plants

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) plants grown under greenhouse or controlled environments with symptoms of leaf yellowing, leaf necrosis and defoliation were observed during 2018-2019. Additional symptoms included crown rot and internal browning or blackening of the pith tissues. Stock (mother) plants as well as plants in the vegetative and flowering stages of 15 cannabis strains (genotypes) were affected. In addition, damping-off symptoms were observed on rooted cuttings in propagation rooms. Isolations from diseased tissues yielded predominantly Fusarium proliferatum, with some F. oxysporum also recovered. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences from the translation elongation factor 1α (TEF-1 α) region of 29 isolates of F. proliferatum from eight licenced production facilities in three provinces in Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and New Brunswick), and one cannabis production site in northern California, grouped isolates from cannabis with a large clade of isolates from a wide range of other hosts in different geographic regions. Pathogenicity studies confirmed the ability of F. proliferatum to cause symptoms of wilting, leaf and pith necrosis, and plant death on cuttings, rooted plants and stock plants. Inoculated tomato and cucumber plants developed similar symptoms. Stem colonization was more extensive by F. proliferatum compared to F. oxysporum on cannabis cuttings. Both grew optimally at 25°C on agar media although F. oxysporum grew faster than F. proliferatum at all temperatures tested. The occurrence of F. proliferatum on cannabis plants has not been previously reported, adding to recent reports of F. oxysporum and F. solani that cause similar symptoms on cannabis plants.

“…Fusarium proliferatum has been reported as a cosmopolite pathogen in many important crops including maize [77], wheat [78], rice [79], sorghum [80], asparagus [81], date palm [82], onion [83], chive [84], potato [85], sunflower [86], soybean [87], cowpea [88], oat [89] banana [90], blueberry [91], alfalfa [92], strawberry [93], grape [94], cotton [95], melon [96], and cauliflower [97], among others, inducing damage and symptoms including root rot, dry rot, crown rot, stem rot, trunk canker, and vascular wilt, depending on the host [98][99][100].…”

Fusarium Dry Rot of Garlic Bulbs Caused by Fusarium proliferatum: A Review

Fusarium dry rot (FDR) is a postharvest disease of garlic crops causing yield losses worldwide. Fusarium proliferatum has been identified as the main species causing the disease. Symptoms begin as small brown lesions with a dehydrated appearance that can progress to cover the entire clove during the storage period. Symptoms on growing plants cause brown lesions on the basal plates and roots, and sometimes damping-off is observed. F. proliferatum is a polyphagous pathogen with a wide range of hosts. This pathogen colonizes garlic roots, remaining as a latent pathogen, and develops rot during storage. The pathogen can overwinter in the soil, infested crop residues, and weeds. The fungus can also persist on garlic cloves, acting as primary inoculum in the field and contributing to the long-distance spread. Using healthy plant material, rotating crops, burying crop residues, avoiding bulb injury during harvest and subsequent handling, and providing appropriate postharvest environmental conditions are crucial factors that greatly influence the disease severity. Choosing a suitable non-host crop to achieve truly effective rotation is sometimes difficult. Chemical control in the form of seed treatments or field spraying of the crop has a limited effect on controlling FDR. Field applications of biological control agents have shown some efficacy, but conditions to optimize their activity must be determined. Moreover, different soil management strategies to reduce soil inoculum must be also studied.
