  23. Genetic Differentiation Associated with Fumonisin and Gibberellin Production in Japanese Fusarium fujikuroi [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Fusarium fujikuroi is a pathogenic fungus that infects rice. It produces several important mycotoxins, such as fumonisins. Fumonisin production has been detected in strains of maize, strawberry, and wheat, whereas it has not been detected in strains from rice seedlings infested with bakanae disease in Japan. We investigated the genetic relationships, pathogenicity, and resistance to a fungicide, thiophanate-methyl (TM), in 51 fumonisin-producing strains and 44 nonproducing strains.
