“…F redolens has been referred as an important pathogen on different crops, including asparagus (65), carnation (7,44), pelargonium (55), rose (66), and tomato (25); and as a weak pathogen on spinach (41) and some legumes. F redolens has been referred as a pathogen causing foot rot on pea and bean (12), necrotic taproot lesions and lateral root necrosis on soybean (8), and wilt and root rot on lentil (56); however, to our knowledge, pathogenicity to chickpea has not been reported yet.…”

Molecular and Pathogenic Characterization ofFusarium redolens, a New Causal Agent of Fusarium Yellows in Chickpea

et al. 2011

The association of Fusarium redolens with wilting-like symptoms in chickpea in Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, and Spain is reported for the first time, together with the molecular and pathogenic characterization of isolates of the pathogen from chickpea of diverse geographic origin. Maximum parsimony analysis of sequences of the translation elongation factor 1α (TEF-1α) gene grouped all F. redolens isolates from chickpea in the same main clade. Pathogenicity assays using three chickpea cultivars and isolates from different geographic origins indicated that F. redolens is mildly virulent on chickpea. Moreover, infection of chickpea by F. redolens induces a disease syndrome similar to that caused by the yellowing pathotype of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, including leaf yellowing and necrosis that develop upward from the stem base, and premature senescence of the plant. In contrast, F. redolens does not cause discoloration of the vascular tissues in chickpea but does cause brown necrotic lesions in the tap root and necrosis of lateral roots. F. redolens is not easily differentiated from F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris using morphology-based diagnosis, and the two species cause similar symptoms on chickpea; therefore, the use of molecular protocols should help to avoid misdiagnoses of Fusarium yellows in chickpea.

“…The disease symptoms observed on plants inoculated with F. commune and F. redolens were similar to those observed on plants inoculated with FORL: plants showed dark brown lesions on crown and roots and dead plants. The pathogenicity of the latter two species was recently reported on tomato in Algeria (Hamini‐Kadar et al. , 2010).…”

In order to characterize the pathogen(s) responsible for the outbreak of fusarium diseases in Algeria, 48 Fusarium spp. isolates were collected from diseased tomato in Algeria and compared with 58 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum originating from seven other Mediterranean countries and 24 reference strains. Partial sequences of the translation elongation factor EF1a gene enabled identification of 27 isolates as F. oxysporum, 18 as F. commune and three as F. redolens among the Algerian isolates. Pathogenicity tests confirmed that all isolates were pathogenic on tomato, with disease incidence greater at 28°C than at 24°C. All isolates were characterized using intergenic spacer (IGS) DNA typing, vegetative compatibility group (VCG) and PCR detection of the SIX1 (secreted in xylem 1) gene specific to F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL). No DNA polymorphisms were detected in the isolates of F. redolens or F. commune. In contrast, the 27 Algerian isolates of F. oxysporum were shown to comprise nine IGS types and 13 VCGs, including several potentially new VCGs. As none of the isolates was scored as SIX1+, the 27 isolates could be assigned to F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL). Isolates from Tunisia were also highly diverse but genetically distinct from the Algerian isolates. Several Tunisian isolates were identified as FOL by a PCR that detected the presence of SIX1. The results show that isolates from European countries were less diverse than those from Tunisia. Given the difference between Algerian populations and populations in other Mediterranean countries, newly emergent pathogenic forms could have evolved from local non-pathogenic populations in Algeria.

“…All strains of Fusarium obtained were pathogen against tomato plants and caused crown and root rot. Fusarium species such as F. oxysporum, F. solani, F. redolens, F. commune, Fusarium rolfsii and Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex MLST type 5 have been noted as severely virulent species of pathogenic fungi that often infect tomato plants (Hamini-Kadar et al 2010;Si Mohammed et al 2016;Husain et al 2017;Yezli et al 2019).…”

“…radicis-lycopersici, responsible for crown and root rot (Can et al 2004). Three other species belonging to the same genus, Fusarium commune, Fusarium redolens (Hamini-Kadar et al 2010) and Fusarium equiseti (Yezli et al 2019) have also been reported as causal agents of crown and root rot of tomato. In addition, Fusarium species are reported not only in Algeria, but from different parts of the world, and they are known to be pathogenic to different plants (Mannai et al 2018;Rezaee et al 2018).…”

“…The loam soil was sifted to eliminate rocks and autoclaved at 121 °C for 90 min for three successive days (Trejo-Estrada et al 1998). The pathogenicity of fungal isolates was confirmed according to the method described by Hamini-Kadar et al (2010). For each fungal isolate, we used ten tomato seedlings of cultivar Montfavet 63-5 HF1 with age of twelve days.…”

Three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Lactobacillus delbruckii subsp. bulgaricus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum and Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacetylactis) were tested for their antagonistic activity to reduce fungal growth of nine isolates of Fusarium species (F. oxysporum, F. redolens and F. solani), agents of tomato crown and root rot, the most destructive disease of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in Algeria. The LAB tested significantly inhibited nine strains of Fusarium spp. on Potato dextrose agar (PDA) and De Man, Rogosa, Sharpe agar (MRSA). Performance of L. lactis subsp. diacetylactis on MRS agar medium was 62.42% inhibition compared to 22.11% inhibition on PDA medium. Overlay assay showed that LAB secreted different metabolites, which inhibited growth of Fusarium spp. Inhibition by L. mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum was between 4.3 and 19.7% after 72 h incubation on PDA medium. Results showed that all LAB used can significantly reduce growth of various phytopathogenic Fusarium species, both by cell cultures and by their secondary metabolites.
