Synthetic spike-in metabarcoding for plant pathogen diagnostics results in precise quantification of copy number within the genus <i>Fusarium</i> Open
Synthetic spike-in metabarcoding (SSIM) assays generate quantitative next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, but are marred by inconsistency and have seen limited adoption. Previous efforts to develop SSIM assays have focused on the ITS and…

Insects visit<i>Fusarium xyrophilum</i>pseudoflowers on the host<i>Xyris surinamensis</i>(Xyridaceae) and carry fungal DNA on their bodies Open
The fungus Fusarium xyrophilum produces flower-like structures (i.e., pseudoflowers) that were recently discovered on yellow-eyed grasses ( Xyris spp.) in Guyana. It is unknown whether these pseudoflowers, which are composed entirely of fu…

A Novel Trichothecene Toxin Phenotype Associated with Horizontal Gene Transfer and a Change in Gene Function in Fusarium Open
Fusarium trichothecenes are among the mycotoxins of most concern to food and feed safety. Production of these mycotoxins and presence of the trichothecene biosynthetic gene (TRI) cluster have been confirmed in only two multispecies lineage…

Multilocus molecular phylogenetic-led discovery and formal recognition of four novel root-colonizing <i>Fusarium</i> species from northern Kazakhstan and the phylogenetically divergent <i>Fusarium steppicola</i> lineage Open
In this study, DNA sequence data were used to characterize 290 Fusarium strains isolated during a survey of root-colonizing endophytic fungi of agricultural and nonagricultural plants in northern Kazakhstan. The Fusarium collection was scr…

<i>Fusarium abutilonis</i> and <i>F. guadeloupense</i>, two novel species in the <i>Fusarium buharicum</i> clade supported by multilocus molecular phylogenetic analyses Open
This study was conducted to elucidate evolutionary relationships and species diversity within the Fusarium buharicum species complex (FBSC). We also evaluate the potential of these species to produce mycotoxins and other bioactive secondar…

Phylogenetic diversity, trichothecene potential, and pathogenicity within Fusarium sambucinum species complex Open
The Fusarium sambucinum species complex (FSAMSC) is one of the most taxonomically challenging groups of fusaria, comprising prominent mycotoxigenic plant pathogens and other species with various lifestyles. Among toxins produced by members…

Phylogenomic Analysis of a 55.1-kb 19-Gene Dataset Resolves a Monophyletic<i>Fusarium</i>that Includes the<i>Fusarium solani</i>Species Complex Open
Scientific communication is facilitated by a data-driven, scientifically sound taxonomy that considers the end-user’s needs and established successful practice. In 2013, the Fusarium community voiced near unanimous support for a concept of…

An endophyte of <i>Macrochloa tenacissima</i> (esparto or needle grass) from Tunisia is a novel species in the <i>Fusarium redolens</i> species complex Open
Here, we report on the morphological, molecular, and chemical characterization of a novel Fusarium species recovered from the roots and rhizosphere of Macrochloa tenacissima (halfa, esparto, or needle grass) in central Tunisia. Formally de…

Molecular systematics of two sister clades, the <i>Fusarium concolor</i> and <i>F. babinda</i> species complexes, and the discovery of a novel microcycle macroconidium–producing species from South Africa Open
Multilocus DNA sequence data were used to investigate species identity and diversity in two sister clades, the Fusarium concolor (FCOSC) and F. babinda species complexes. Of the 109 isolates analyzed, only 4 were received correctly identif…
