Description
Summary:species complex (FGSC) causes Fusarium head blight in small grain cereals. To date, four species ( , , , and ) belonging to FGSC frequently occur in Korean cereals. In addition, we first reported the occurrence of additional species ( ) within FGSC, which was isolated from barley, corn, and rice in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of the isolates of this group using combined multi-gene sequences confirmed species identification. Moreover, the macroconidia produced by these isolates were morphologically similar to those of the holotype. Chemical analysis indicated that the isolates produced various trichothecenes such as nivalenol and deoxynivalenol with their acetyl derivatives along with zearalenone. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that all of the isolates examined were pathogenic on barley, corn, and rice with variation in aggressiveness. This study is the first report of in Korean cereals, their pathogenicity towards barley and corn, and their ability to produce trichothecenes and zearalenone.
