Fungal root endophytes of tomato from Kenya and their nematode biocontrol potential

“…fusariumdb.org) and Fusarium MLST (http://www.cbs.knaw. nl/Fusarium) databases (Aoki et al 2014;O'Donnell et al 2008) and their results are indicated in Supplementary Table S1. It is known that sequence-based identification strategies can be meaningful only with the availability of wellcurated, robust, and reliable databases that are populated with sequence data from type or reference strains (where possible).…”

First report of Fusarium solani species complex as a causal agent of Erythrina variegata decline and death after gall formation by Quadrastichus erythrinae on Okinawa Island, Japan

“…AB2, inoculated with P2-f11 and P2-f22; A2, inoculated with P2-f11; Ct2, no inoculation Table 2. We used the sequence data of F. staphyleae and 30 FSSC strains reported by Costa et al (2016), Kasson et al (2013), O'Donnell et al (2008O'Donnell et al ( , 2015 and Zhang et al (2006), which were obtained from GenBank for multiple sequence alignment using CLUSTAL W and analysis by MEGA7 (Kumar et al 2016). The phylogenetic relationship was inferred by using the maximum likelihood method based on the Jukes-Cantor model (Jukes and Cantor 1969).…”

“…4a). Nucleotide sequence analysis of the ITS, the RPB2, and the EF-1a of representative isolate P2-f11 (strain A) indicated that strain A belongs to F. solani species complex (FSSC) clade 3 defined by O'Donnell et al (2008). Figure 6 shows the phylogenetic tree inferred from the nucleotide sequences of EF-1a using 29 Fusarium strains and strain A.…”

Challenges in Fusarium, a Trans-Kingdom Pathogen

“…The opportunists on humans group into seven species complexes: the Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum, F. incarnatum-equiseti, F. fujikuroi, F. clamydosporum, F. dimerum and F. sporotrichioides species complexes [4]. In particular members of the Fusarium solani and F. oxysporum species complexes have been implicated in human infections worldwide [8][9][10], but local, endemic plant pathogens prove to have virulence to humans as well (e.g., [4]). Many molecular siblings have no binomial designations yet.…”

“…Many molecular siblings have no binomial designations yet. As it proves that different lineages within one species complex may vary in the antifungal susceptibility [10,11], it seems advisable to determine etiological agents to species/lineage level.…”
