Pathogenicity of Turkish Crown and Head Scab Isolates on Stem Bases on Winter Wheat under Greenhouse Conditions

Fusarium species isolated from wheat samples showing root and crown rot

“…Our results have been consistent with the species found at earlier studies (Aktaş et al 2000, Arıcı et al 2013, Aydan et al 2009, Aydan et al 2010, Kınacı 1984, Nirenberg 1981, Özer and Soran 1991, Soran and Damgaci 1980, Tunali et al 2006a, Tunali et al 2006b, Uçkun and Yıldız 2004, Yılmazdemir 1976) conducted on wheat microflora in Turkey. Within these species, F. tricinctum was determined by Uçkun and Yıldız (2004) in wheat growing fields of Aegean Region, but it was determined molecularly at the rate of 13% of total numbers of identified species and firstly reported in this study in Southeast Anatolia.…”

“…proliferatum, F. acuminatum, F. verticillioides, F. oxysporum, and F. equiseti isolated during the survey have been known as natural members of wheat microflora and they show weak pathogenicity on wheat (Aktas et al 1996, Aktas et al 1997, Bentley et al 2006, Demirci and Dane 2003, Tunali et al 2006a. It has been thought that the other Fusarium species isolated from Southeast Anatolia are natural members of soil microflora.…”

Expression Analysis of PKS13, FG08079.1 and PKS10 Genes in Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum

“…Occurrence of various endotoxins (aflatoxin, T-2 toxin, DON, ZEN, and fumonisin) except BUT and FUS C have been reported by using conventional methods like HPLC and ELISA in Turkey (17,18). Chemotyping studies of F. graminearum and F. culmorum isolates are focused on class B trichothecene detection (14,19).…”

Assessment of the Seedling Resistance of Spring Wheat Lines to Fusarium culmorum

“…These pathogens may occur singly, but they often exist together in the same fields and even within individual plants, and there may be difference in dominance of different pathogens at a specific location from year to year (Smiley & Patterson 1996). In Turkey and other parts of the world F. culmorum and F. pseudograminearum are the two most commonly reported damaging Fusarium species causing the disease (Cook 1992;Aktaş et al 1999;Burgess et al 2001;Tunali et al 2006). In Turkey, F. pseudograminearum is relatively common in the Marmara region while F. culmorum is more prevalent in the Central Anatolian Plateau (Burgess et al 2010).…”
