Abstract

Piper nigrum L. is well-known as the king of spices and widely used in various field such as food and medicines. In Malaysia, 98% of pepper production comes from the state of Sarawak. The National Commodity Policy (2011-2020) targets to increase the pepper plantation area from the current 16,331 ha to 20,110 ha by year 2020. However, pepper diseases remain as a major challenge in the pepper industry. A great number of airborne fungi pathogen may contribute to a significant economic loss in pepper production. Therefore, this study aims to morphologically identify the diversity of fungi obtained from air-borne samples in a pepper planation that are capable of causing pepper plant diseases. This experiment was conducted at a pepper plantation near Lembah Bidong, Kuala Terengganu. An Andersen spore sampler was used to collect the fungi spores. Culture based identification were then made. The study resulted in the identification of four genus of fungi such as Fusarium sp, Fusarium semictectum Fusarium oxysporum, Curvularia sp., Penicillium sp. and Trichoderma sp. (Ascomycetes). Further molecular identification will confirm the species of fungal pathogens and more understanding of their population as well as severity.   Keywords: Pepper, Piper nigrum L., air-borne, fungi, Andersen spore sampler
吉隆坡Lembah Bidong辣椒种植园的气载真菌多样性
胡椒被誉为香料之王,广泛应用于食品、医药等各个领域。在马来西亚,98%的辣椒生产来自砂拉越州。国家商品政策(2011-2020年)的目标是到2020年将辣椒种植面积从目前的16331公顷增加到20110公顷。然而,辣椒病害仍然是辣椒行业的一大挑战。大量的空气传播真菌病原体可能导致辣椒生产的重大经济损失。因此,本研究旨在从形态学上鉴定在辣椒夷为平地的空气传播样本中获得的能够引起辣椒植物疾病的真菌的多样性。这个实验是在吉隆坡蓝巴比东附近的一个辣椒种植园进行的。使用Andersen孢子采样器采集真菌孢子。然后进行基于文化的鉴定。本研究鉴定了镰刀菌属(Fusarium sp)、半截镰刀菌(Fusaria semictum Fusarium oxysporum)、弯孢菌属(Curvularia sp.)、青霉属(Penicillium sp.)和木霉属(Trichoderma sp.)四个属。进一步的分子鉴定将证实真菌病原体的种类,并对其种群和严重程度有更多的了解。关键词:胡椒,胡椒,空气传播,真菌,Andersen孢子采样器
