Species‐specific PCR Assays for the Fungal Pathogens Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium subglutinans and their Application to Diagnose Maize Ear Rot Disease

Abstract: Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon (syn. F. verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg) and F. subglutinans (Wollenweber & Reinking) Nelson Toussoun & Marasas comb. nov., two anamorphs of the so‐called‘Gibberella fujikuroi species complex', are important maize pathogens. Together with F. proliferatum, F. culmorum, and F. graminearum (teleomorph: Gibberella zeae) they are involved in the stalk rot and ear rot disease of maize. All species produce secondary metabolites (mycotoxins) which are a potential health hazard for human… Show more

“…The results obtained (Figure 4A) indicate the presence of F. subglutinans in the PG 1 sample and the presence of F. verticillioides in all three naturally contaminated seed samples tested, what is in accordance with the literature that reports the presence of F. verticillioides in 100% of the maize seeds in Brazil [26]. Möller et al [13] have also set up a multiplex PCR to detect F. verticillioides and F. subglutinans simultaneously, but there are no data on the specificity of these primers with the genomic DNA of F. circinatum , F. konzum , and F. andiyazi . The present multiplex PCR reaction represents a significant advance for the simultaneous molecular detection of F. verticillioides and F. subglutinans .…”

“…Fusarium diseases of wheat are very important factors contributing to economic losses and deterioration in grain quality (McMullen et al 2012). The PCR-based assays can be used for the routine detection and identification of pathogenic fungi from genus Fusarium without morphological determination (Murillo et al 1998;Moeller et al 1999;Mulé et al 2004). The development and use of PCR assays could be also very helpful for early diagnosis and control of Fusarium population on wheat ear and stem base (Ben-Amar et al 2012).…”
