Identifying Fusarium and Combinations in the Gibberella Fujikuroi Species Complex
Keywords:
Salt Gibberella Fujikuroi Complex, Translation Clongation Factor 1 α and β-tubulinAbstract
Mango malformation, caused by Fusarium mangiferae, represents the most important floral disease of mango. The first symptoms of this disease were noticed in the beginning of 2005 in plantations at Sohar in the Eastern U.P. of India. The affected inflorescences were abnormally enlarged and branched with heavy and dried-out panicles. Based on morphology and DNA-sequence data fir the genes encoding translation elongation factor 1 α and β-tubulin, the pathogen associated with these symptoms was identified as F. mangiferae.
