Crotalaria paulinea Schrank. plants showing wilt and root rot were identified and collected in Caucaia, Ceará, Brazil. Fifteen plants collected in a single field presented wilt symptoms. The plants showed root rot and were covered by reddish perithecia. The fungus was isolated from a cirrus of ascospores to each plant in 2% malt extract medium and the resulting culture was grown at 25°C. Carnation leaf piece agar (CLA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), and Spezieller Nährstoffarmer agar (SNA) media (Leslie and Summerell 2006) were used for morphological observations. The cultures were deposited in the Culture Collection of Phytopathogenic Fungi of the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil (CMM 1329 and CMM 1332). The anamorphs have typical white colonies of the genus Fusarium. The microconidia are unicellular and produced at the tips of long and branched monophialides, cylindrical and ellipsoid, hyaline, 6 to 18 µm long × 2 to 6 µm wide. Neither isolate produced macroconidia on SNA. Perithecia are orange to red, pyriform, with short neck, 127.9 to 187.5 × 95.7 to 112.2 µm. Asci are unitunicate, containing eight globe-like ascospores. Ascospores globose, unicellular, cylindrical, thick and rough walled, uniseriately arranged, 11.1 to 94.9 × 10.5 to 86.2 µm. The translation elongation factor (TEF1-α) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences were deposited in GenBank (KT365848 to KT365851). Maximum likelihood analysis was carried out using the sequences of the two genes from Fusarium sp. and other species from the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC). Morphological characteristics indicated that the isolates are similar to F. neocosmosporiellum; however, phylogenetic analysis revealed a distinct clade (bootstrap 99%) close to F. neocosmosporiellum (≡ N. vasinfecta) and nested in the FSSC. C. paulinea seeds were used in a pathogenicity test. Agar plugs 3 mm in diameter from the Fusarium sp. were put 0.5 cm deep, and the seeds were subsequently deposited on the agar plugs and covered with a small portion of sterilized soil. Pots were kept in a greenhouse under temperatures of 25 to 32°C. The roots were evaluated 30 days after germination, and 80% of the inoculated plants showed symptoms including root system reduction, reddish roots, and darkening of internal tissues. No symptoms were observed among noninoculated plants. The fungus was reisolated from the diseased plants. There have been reports of F. neocosmoporiellum on soybean in the EUA and China (Gray et al. 1980) on peanuts in Taiwan (Huang et al. 1992), and on cowpeas, watermelon, and cotton in the United States (Smith 1899). This is the first report of a new lineage of Fusarium belonging to the FSSC causing root rot on C. paulinea.References:Gray, F. A., et al. 1980. Plant Dis. 64:321. Crossref, Google ScholarHuang, J.
