AI Article Synopsis
- - The plant plays a key role in areas like phytoremediation and soil improvement while also being used as fodder.
- - From 2018 to 2021, noticeable symptoms of Fusarium wilt were documented in Chongqing, China, leading to the isolation of pathogens from affected plants.
- - Advanced genetic analysis confirmed the causal agents of the disease, marking it as the first documented instance of Fusarium wilt affecting this plant in China and globally.
Article Abstract
, a versatile and adaptable plant, plays an essential role in phytoremediation, soil reclamation, and fodder production. From 2018 to 2021, the occurrence of Fusarium wilt, with symptoms of foliar blight and internal discoloration of the stem, was observed in Chongqing, China. Pathogens were isolated from the symptomatic leaves. Based on morphological characteristics as well as DNA sequences of the 18S ribosomal RNA (SSU), translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α), RNA polymerase II subunit 1 (rpb1), and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2) genes, the causal agents were identified as . Phylogenetic analysis of the combined dataset of EF1-α, rpb1 and rpb2 showed that pathogenic isolates clustered with strains. The pathogen was reisolated from inoculated and diseased tissues; thus, Koch's postulates were fulfilled. This is the first report of causing Fusarium wilt on in China and worldwide.
