Pathogenicity of Fusarium species in soybean

Abstract

The paper describes the symptoms of the Fusarium wilt and necrosis of root and lower stem of soybean, which include leaf chlorosis, wilt of the apical portion of the plant, necrosis of the root and lower stem, and wilting of the whole plant. The pods are often poorly developed. The seeds may be smaller and lighter in the weight and infected, as well. Isolated from diseased soybean plants were the species Fusarium avenaceum, F. equiseti, F. oxysporum and F. poae. Pathogenicity tests under artificial infection conditions showed F. oxysporum (isolate S/1) to be the most pathogenic among of the four investigated species. The other species proved much less pathogenic

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Fusarium solani CAUSING SOYBEAN SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME IN KOREA

“…glycines (McLean and Lawrence, 1995). In addition, F. equiseti and G. moniliformis species complex are the most common diseases reported in agricultural crops worldwide, including soybean (Jasnic et al, 2005 ; Hsuan et al, 2011). Recently, F. graminearum was also reported to be pathogenic and a causal agent of SDS in cereal crops as well as soybean (Martinelli et al, 2004;Brar et al, 2011).…”

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of Fusarium sp. FIESC3 the causal agent of seed rot in onion (Allium cepa L.)

“…Species of Fusarium oxysporum, F. proliferatum, and F. equiseti have been described as the most common seed-borne fungi which attack and can be transmitted by vegetable seeds. Seed health is a critical component for a successful crop production, while reduction in seed germination and growing energy occurres due to seed-borne diseases (Jasnić et al, 2005). Lević et al (2009) indicate that Fusarium species periodically cause significant diseases, especially wilt of onion, garlic, and tomato, but there is a lack of information about Fusarium species associated with onion seed (Allium cepa L.) in Serbia.…”

Efficacy of Trichoderma spp. against Common Fungal Pathogens

“…F. oxysporum is also cosmopolitan species which can be isolated from deserts and tropical soils as well as from Arctic soils (Leslie & Summerell, 2006). It is known as an important vascular wilt pathogen on numerous plant species worldwide, mainly vegetable crops of Solanaceae family (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant), but also alfa-alfa (Krnjaja et al, 2007), sunflower (Tančić et al, 2012), soybean (Jasnić et al, 2005), sugarcane, legumes, lettuce, watermelon etc. (http://eol.org/pages/187980/hierarchy_entries/5733121 6/overview).…”
