Article Synopsis
- Onion crops in Saudi Arabia experienced significant health issues in late 2020, with symptoms such as wilting and bulb rot affecting 30-65% of plants in the surveyed fields.
- The pathogen was identified as Fusarium oxysporum through a series of laboratory tests, including sanitization of diseased plant tissues and culturing on specific media that revealed characteristic fungal growth.
- Further confirmation of the pathogen's identity involved DNA extraction and sequencing of various nuclear regions, contributing to the understanding of its genetic makeup and potential impacts on onion cultivation.
Several species of Fusarium cause serious diseases in date palm worldwide. In the present work, 14 SSR markers were used to assess the genetic variation of Fusarium strains isolated from diseased trees in Saudi Arabia. We also studied the effect of different temperatures on mycelial growth of these strains.
