“…Species of Fusarium were isolated from leaf blight on a dry stem of A. setaceous ( F. ipomoeae ), dead leaf and leaf spot on A. nidus ( F. pernambucanum ), leaf spot on N. cordifolia (F. nirenbergiae ), and dry leaves of A. setaceous ( F. sulawesiense ) ( Figure 33 , Figure 34 , Figure 37 and Figure 38 ). Fusarium sulawesiense and F. ipomoeae are pathogenic on sesame [ 64 ] and peanut [ 65 ], respectively. Additionally, F. pernambucanum and F. nirenbergiae were obtained from disease symptoms of Musa sp., Passiflora edulis [ 66 ], and potato [ 57 ].…”

Ferns are one of the most significant plant groupings that comprise a substantial proportion of the plant flora due to the fact of their great diversity, especially in tropical areas. The biodiversity of fungi associated with ferns and fern-like hosts has also received little attention in studies. Plant samples were collected from diseased and dead plants of ten fern or fern-like species from Chiang Rai in northern Thailand. Forty-one isolates were selected from the obtained isolates for molecular and morphological analysis, with a focus on pathogenic fungal genera and consideration of the diversity in host and geographical location. Twenty-six species belonging to seven genera (Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Diaporthe, Fusarium, Lasiodiplodia, Neopestalotiopsis, and Pestalotiopsis) in six families were identified. Thirty new hosts, eight new geographical hosts, and one new species, Colletotrichum polypodialium, are described. Nepestalotiopsis phangngaensis, N. pandancola, Diaporthe tectonendophytica, D. chiangraiensis, and D. delonicis were isolated for the first time from leaf spots. Additionally, new reservoirs and geographical locations for species previously isolated from leaf spots or whose pathogenicity was established were found. However, more studies are necessary to prove the pathogenicity of the fungi isolated from the leaf spots and to identify the fungi associated with other species of ferns.

“…This species was identified as the causal agent of malformations on Swietenia macrophylla and head blight of wheat in Mexico [ 25 , 27 ]. F. sulawense was discovered to be the cause of sesame stem rot in Pakistan [ 44 ], and rice sheath rot in Indonesia [ 45 ]. As indicated in the Introduction Section, F. sulawense was reported to cause soybean pod blight in Hubei, China, in July–August 2020 [ 30 ].…”

Soybean plants are highly susceptible to Fusarium species, which significantly reduce soybean production and quality. Several Fusarium species have been reported to synthesize mycotoxins, such as trichothecene, which have been related to major human diseases. In November 2021, soybean pods in Nantong municipality, China, showed black necrotic lesions during the harvest stage. The disease incidence reached 69%. The pathogen was identified as Fusarium sulawense via morphological analysis and sequencing of ITS, EF1-α and RPB2 genes. A PCR assay with primers targeting the trichothecene biosynthesis genes suggested that the three isolates could synthesize trichothecenes. The effectiveness of fungicide carbendazim and natural metabolites dipicolinic acid and kojic acid was screened for the management of F. sulawense on postharvest soybean pods. The highest efficacy was obtained when combining 3.8 mg/mL carbendazim and 0.84 mg/mL dipicolinic acid (curative efficacy: 49.1% lesion length inhibition; preventive efficacy: 82.7% lesion length inhibition), or 1.9 mg/mL carbendazim and 0.71 mg/mL kojic acid (preventive efficacy: 84.9% lesion length inhibition). Collectively, this report will lead to a better understanding of the safety hazards found in soybean products in China and reveals the application of dipicolinic and kojic acids to reduce the use of carbendazim.
