The symptoms included spotted leaves, withering, and fruit with internal rotting, with the tissue having a soft consistency and dark brown coloring and exudate formation externally. Leaves and fruit were sanitized for 1 min in 1% NaOCl, washed twice in sterile water, cut into smaller pieces, plated on 10 sterile Petri plates with potato dextrose agar (PDA), and incubated at 26°C for 7 days in a biochemical oxygen demand chamber. Isolates morphologically similar to Fusarium spp. were purified from monosporically cultured colonies, with plates showing a slightly lilac color. On PDA medium, morphological characteristics of conidia were hyaline microconidia, ovoid or ellipsoid, and 1.0 to 3.0 × 1.0 to 2.0 μm. Macroconidia were elongate, ellipsoid, and slightly curved, 5.0 to 14.0 × 1.0 to 2.0 μm. These characteristics are descriptive of F. sororula (Herron et al. 2015). Ten isolates were selected, and DNA was extracted with DNA HIMEDIA. The PCR reactions were prepared using PCR Master Mix (PROMEGA) and were amplified with primer pairs for the genes β-tubulin (Btub2; 336 bp) and RNA polymerase II (Rpb2; 702 bp) and elongation factor 1 (Tef1; 580 bp) region. DNA from only one isolate, CMA23, was amplified, using 35 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, followed by annealing at 59, 58, and 53°C, respectively, for 30 s, then extension at 72°C for 1.0 min, and final extension at 72°C for 10 min. The sequences were deposited in GenBank (accession nos. ON751963-1, ON456385.1, and MK316363.1) and compared to described Fusarium species. According to Yilmaz et al. (2021), several Fusarium species were identified using morphological and phylogenetic analyses based on the partial sequence described above, and they had 100% similarity to the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC) (Herron et al. 2015). Based on a bootstrap test with 1,000 replications, we constructed phylogenetic trees using the maximum parsimony method. The clade of CMA23 was identified as F. sororula with 83% similarity. Ten Pearly pineapple fruits and 10 detached leaves were sanitized for pathogenicity tests, then perforated with a toothpick. A spore suspension of 5 μl at 1 × 106 spores ml−1 was added (four inoculation points/fruit and detached leaf). They were incubated for 12 days at 22 ± 5°C and 70 to 78% humidity and a 12-h photoperiod. Only fruits and leaves, injured with toothpicks immersed in spore suspension, showed necrotic spots on leaves, fruit rot, and exudate, the same symptoms as fruits found in the field. The fruits showed no symptoms when pierced with a toothpick in sterile water. The CMA23 isolate was molecularly identified using the same method described above, fulfilling Koch՚s postulates. Fusarium guttiforme was for a long time considered the only Fusarium disease in pineapple (Stepien et al. 2013). and was previously described as the causal agent of fusariosis on pineapple in Brazil. However, using molecular techniques, new species have been shown to be pathogens of this crop, mainly belonging to the FFSC, such as Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium verticillioides (Ibrahim et al. 2017). This is the first report worldwide of F. sororula that causes fruit rot.The author(s) declare no conflict of interest.References:Azevedo, R. G., et al. 2022. Clean.
