Abstract
Cassava root rot is a widespread issue in plantations globally, causing significant economic losses. Fusarioid fungi are widely distributed in the world and are commonly associated to root rot in cassava. Fusarioid fungi were isolated from cassava plant roots exhibiting rot symptoms in a cultivation area in Pernambuco, Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis of the TEF-1α, RPB1, and RPB2 genes identified Fusarium agrestense (a previously invalidly published species now validated), F. gossypinum, F. grosmichelii, F. triseptatum, and Neocosmospora falciformis. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that all isolates could induce disease in cassava tubers and seedlings. This study presents the first multilocus phylogenetic analysis identifying fusarioid species responsible for cassava root rot globally and in Brazil, including F. agrestense, F. gossypinum, F. grosmichelii, and F. triseptatum.
期刊介绍:
The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
-Abiotic damage-
Agronomic control methods-
Assessment of pest and disease damage-
Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases-
Biological control-
Biorational pesticides-
Control of animal pests of world crops-
Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms-
Control of weeds and integrated management-
Economic considerations-
Effects of plant growth regulators-
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use-
Environmental effects of pesticides-
Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control-
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications-
Importance and control of postharvest crop losses-
Integrated control-
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies-
Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection-
Pesticide application methods-
Pest management-
Phytobiomes for pest and disease control-
Resistance management-
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
