- Fusarium pseudocircinatum is identified as the primary cause of big-leaf mahogany malformation disease (BLMMD) in mahogany trees in Mexico, significantly impacting this valuable timber species.
- The study assessed genetic diversity among F. pseudocircinatum isolates collected from 611 mahogany trees across four Mexican states, finding high overall genetic variability with 87 unique multilocus genotypes identified.
- The high genetic diversity (average 0.147) and significant variation within genotypes suggest ongoing genetic flow and possible historical dispersion routes, particularly between isolates from Colima and Michoacán.
