“…These characteristics of the fungus were similar to T. roseum (Pers.) Link as reported in previous studies (Firouzianbandpey et al., 2021; Kwon et al., 2010; Oh et al., 2014). The fungal isolate was deposited in the culture collection of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in Iran.…”

“…These characteristics of the fungus were similar to T. roseum (Pers.) Link as reported in previous studies (Firouzianbandpey et al, 2021;Kwon et al, 2010;Oh et al, 2014) The BLAST search showed that it had 99.67% identity with the sequence of T. roseum (accession number: MH856757), which was reported to infect nectarine in China (Vu et al, 2019). The ITS sequence produced in the present study was deposited in GenBank (accession number: OR671925).…”

“…The pathogen also produces trichothecene, a mycotoxin in the fruit, posing a potential health threat to consumers (Wang, Fu, et al, 2023;Wang, He, et al, 2023). In Iran, pyracantha (firethorn) dieback caused by T. roseum has been reported, previously (Firouzianbandpey et al, 2021), but to our knowledge, there is no previous report of T. roseum infecting fruits and vegetables in this country.…”

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is one of the most important fruit crops, worldwide. In June 2023, strawberry fruits with pink mould symptoms were collected from a storage facility in Khorasan Razavi province of Iran. Trichothecium roseum was isolated from symptomatic fruit and identified through morphological characteristics. Molecular identification was carried out based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) using ITS1 and ITS4 primers. Pathogenicity was confirmed according to Koch's postulates. Cell wall–degrading enzyme secretion was investigated as a potential factor in fungal pathogenicity. The results of morphological identification, ITS analysis and pathogenicity test indicated that the causal agent was T. roseum. Enzyme activity assays revealed that T. roseum obtained from strawberry with a high level of aggressiveness was able to secrete cellulase and pectinase. To our knowledge, this is the first report of post‐harvest pink mould of strawberry caused by T. roseum in Iran.
