  The genus Fusarium is comprises of different species which are furtherer divided into small groups called formae speciales according to their host specificity. It is remarkable that while an isolate belonging to particular formae speciales is considered highly pathogenic in a certain plant species, the many other isolates belonging to the same formae speciales may have no harm effect or even a beneficial relation to the same host plant. Traditionally, bioassays conducted under green house conditions were used to distinguish pathogenic and non-pathogenic isolates. However, such these techniques have some limitations due to the time consuming and the inconsistency of obtained results. In contrary, molecular identification techniques are candidate to play an important role in the characterization process of Fusarium isolates as well as with many other organisms. Recently, the ability of .. Read More»
