Diversity and identity of Fusarium species occurring on fruits, vegetables and food grains

Abstract

Abstract. Ingle AP. 2017. Diversity and identity of Fusarium species occurring on fruits, vegetables and food grains. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 44-51. The members of the genus Fusarium are the most important pathogens associated with different plants including crop plants, fruits, vegetables, etc. Fusarium species are mainly responsible for wilts, blights, root-rots and cankers in these plants. Fusarium spp. produces many types of mycotoxins, which can unfavorably affect human and animal health. In the present study, 48 isolates of Fusarium were recovered from various fruits, vegetables and food grains. Out of these, 23 isolates were recovered from vegetables, 14 from food grains and 11 from fruits. Further, different isolates recovered from infected plant materials were identified on the basis of morphological, cultural and microscopic characteristics.

The potency of Myrtaceae Family from Cibodas Botanic Gardens (Cianjur, Indonesia) as botanical pesticide

“…Eucalyptus oil, as well as Melaleuca and Rhodamnia extract can inhibit several types of pathogens such as bacteria and fungi that attack plant commodities, besides as inhibitors of microorganisms that cause disease humans and animals. Some interesting examples include Pectobacterium carotovorum (formerly classified as Erwinia carotopora) which is a pathogen on cabbage, tomatoes, eggplant, and nepenthes (Lee et al 2014), Xanthomonas axonopodis on citrus (Petrocelli et al 2012), X. campestris on cruciferous plants (Vicente and Holub 2013), X. oryzae on rice (Lang et al 2019), Fusarium oxysporum on banana (Maymon et al 2020), F. solani on guava (Ingle 2017), Agrobacterium tumefasciens causing crown galls and hairy roots of over 20 different fruit trees (Smith and Townsend 2019), Ralstonia solanacearum on potato (Álvarez et al 2019), Rhizoctonia solani (teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris) on sugar beet (Windels et al 1997), and Colletotrichum capsici on chili (Saxena et al 2016). Thus, it is also expected to protect the collection of nepenthes and another plant collection belonging to CBG.…”

Inventarisasi Penyakit Bawang Merah (Allium ascalonicum L.) Varietas Lokananta Asal Biji (True Shallot Seed)

“…Tahap berikutnya melakukan pemurnian jamur-jamur yang tumbuh dari hasil isolasi, yaitu memisahkan berbagai jamur yang tumbuh pada cawan petri. Jamur hasil pemurnian diamati diameter pertumbuhan koloni setiap hari hingga 7 hari setelah pemurnian (Ingle, 2017;Kalman et al, 2020;Akhsan et al, 2021;Irfandi et al, 2022). Identifikasi jamur dilakukan dengan mengamati karakteristik morfologis secara makroskopis, meliputi warna permukaan atas, warna permukaan bawah dan tekstur permukaan koloni (Barnett dan Hunter, 1998;Amanda et al, 2017;Ingle, 2017;Irfandi et al, 2022).…”

Enhanced Antimicrobial Activity and Low Phytotoxicity of Acoustically Synthesized Large Aspect Ratio Cu-BTC Metal–Organic Frameworks with Exposed Metal Sites

“…More specifically, we compare the antimicrobial activity of the SLC Cu-BTC MOFs with that of the 3D cubic Cu-BTC MOFs (HKUST-1) and a commercial copper pesticide against a model bacterium Pseudomonas syringae (P. syringae), fungus Fusarium solani (F. solani), and virus Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV), all of which are known to commonly infect economically important crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. 30,31 The efficacy of these three copperbased compounds was further investigated as a prophylactic for orchid potted plants against ORSV and as a treatment for controlling the spread of ORSV in infected plants. In addition to the phenotypic observation of the dark ring spots on the treated infected leaves and examination of their necrotic area to assess phytotoxicity, we carry out quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to estimate the viral load in the leaves.…”
