A worldwide collection of 96 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (incitant of fusarial wilt of banana or Panama disease) from 12 countries was used to assess population structure in the pathogen; isolates were diverse for vegetative compatibility (11 vegetative compatibility groups) and race-specific virulence (races 1, 2, and 4). Rates of radial growth on potato dextrose agar differed at temperatures ranging from 8–36 °C for isolates in different VCGs and races (P < 0.05). On a KClO3-amended medium used to generate nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants, variability in chlorate (a toxic analog of nitrate) sensitivity and the time required before nit mutants arose on the medium (mutability) was related primarily to vegetative compatibility group. In addition, cultural morphology on modified Komada's medium and potato dextrose agar was related primarily to vegetative compatibility group, whereas race was not as consistently related to these traits. In studies on the population biology and diversity in F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense, vegetative compatibility was a more useful character than race. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense has had diverse origins.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of lettuce, has been reported in three continents in the last 10 years. Forty-seven isolates obtained from infected plants and seed in Italy, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan were evaluated for pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility. Chlorate-resistant, nitrate-nonutilizing mutants were used to determine genetic relatedness among isolates from different locations. Using the vegetative compatibility group (VCG) approach, all Italian and American isolates, type 2 Taiwanese isolates, and a Japanese race 1 were assigned to the major VCG 0300. Taiwanese isolates type 1 were assigned to VCG 0301. The hypothesis that propagules of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae that caused epidemics on lettuce in 2001-02 in Italian fields might have spread via import and use of contaminated seeds is discussed.

Compatibility Group

One hundred and nineteen strains of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis were characterized by virulence and vegetative compatibility. One hundred and seven strains were placed in four previously reported vegetative compatibility groups: 0130, 0131, 0133, and 0134. Four strains were placed in three new vegetative compatibility groups, and the remaining eight strains were vegetatively self-incompatible. Two of the three new vegetative compatibility groups shared similar geographic origins and distribution with two previously reported vegetative compatibility groups; the third represented a more isolated infestation. All vegetatively self-incompatible isolates originated from culture collections; none have been recently isolated from nature. These newly characterized strains extend our knowledge of genetic diversity in F. oxysporum f.sp. melonis. All four F. oxysporum f.sp. melonis races exist in more than one vegetative compatibility group. European strains represent four vegetative compatibility groups, one of which is present in North America and another in the Middle East. The significance of this diversity is unknown, as are the phylogenetic relationships among strains in this forma specialis.

Nineteen isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae recovered from diseased onions growing in the western, southern, and northern regions of Colorado were placed into vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) based on pairing of complementary mutants. Pathogenic isolates from these regions were cultured on variations of potassium chlorate (1.5 or 3.0%) mutation media, potato dextrose agar (PDA), and minimal medium (MM) supplemented with L-asparagine and L-threonine. Chlorate PDA and 3% chlorate MM with L-threonine did not generate the nitrate nonutilizing (nit) mutants required, while MM with L-asparagine (1.5 and 3% chlorate) and MM with L-threonine (1.5% chlorate) generated complementary nit mutants required for compatibility pairings. Five VCGs of F. oxysporum cepae were identified. One VCG was present in all three regions of Colorado examined. Four VCGs were restricted to either western or eastern Colorado. Additional sampling and evaluation of a more diverse collection of F. oxysporum cepae isolates from other regions of onion production is needed to determine the diversity of this pathogen. Such information could assist in breeding for resistance to F. oxysporum cepae.

Mitochondrial Dna Haplotype

Two hundred isolates of Fusarium oxysporum, 100 from each of two different locations, were collected from agricultural field soils in the San Joaquin Valley of California. These isolates comprised 39 different vegetative compatibility groups. Based on the frequency distribution of vegetative compatibility groups, populations of F. oxysporum at the two collection sites were different. At least one isolate from each vegetative compatibility group was examined for polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA. A total of 41 differences in mitochondrial DNA were identified, each of which was treated as a character and scored as present or absent in each strain. There were 11 unique combinations (haplotypes) of the 41 characters. Three mitochondrial DNA haplotypes were common to both sites and the remaining eight occurred at only one of the two sites. Isolates in the same vegetative compatibility group were always associated with the same mitochondrial DNA haplotype. Many isolates in different vegetative compatibility groups also shared a common mitochondrial DNA haplotype. Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis, cause of Fusarium wilt of muskmelon, was associated with the same mitochondrial DNA haplotype as eight vegetative compatibility groups of F. oxysporum that were not pathogenic to muskmelon. This result may indicate that either the pathogen was a recent derivative of nonpathogenic strains at the same location or avirulent strains have been derived from the pathogen. Key words: anastomosis, fungi, heterokaryon, Fusarium wilt.

ABSTRACTVegetatif compatibility of Fusarium oxysporum on various hostsMany strains or race of Fusarium oxysporum can be grouped based on compatibility reproduction from a variety of different strains called Vegetative Compatibility Group (VCG). This study was aimed to determine how the grouping of several isolates of F. oxysporum and grouping of several hosts of the fungus by vegetative compatibility group. Fusarium oxysporum isolated from chickpea plants that showed symptoms of fusarium wilt. The isolates of F. oxysporum of chili and tomatoes obtained from the culture collections of Mycology Laboratory of IPB. Stages of vegetative compatibility testing assayed through recovery of nit mutants, the identification of phenotype of nit mutant, and complementation test. There are 29 mutants isolated from the isolates of F. oxysporum. Nit1 mutant was obtained from all isolates of beans, tomatoes and peppers. NitM and Nit3 mutant isolates were obtained from chickpea 4 and chili sequentially. Two VCG and one single self compatibility (SSC) were assayed from isolates of F. oxysporum based on complementation testing.Keywords: Beans, Fusarium wilt, Nit mutant, SSC, VCGABSTRAKJamur Fusarium oxysporum memiliki banyak forma spesialis dan ras.

Pathogenicity Tests

Twenty-two isolates of Fusarium oxysporum, from Queensland's major tomato growing areas, were studied in glasshouse pathogenicity tests and assessed for vegetative compatibility. Isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici were identified to race using pathogenicity tests with 4 differential tomato cultivars: Grosse Lisse, Scorpio, moradade and Delta Tristar. The occurrence of race 3 in the Bundaberg district in 1988 was established. In glasshouse experiments, Fusarium wilt severity was influenced by inoculum concentration (1 x 106 v. 5 x 106 conidia/ml). Pathogenic and non-pathogenic isolates were distinguished by vegetative compatibility group analysis. However, all races were in a single vegetative compatibility group and could not be differentiated using this technique. Isolates collected from discoloured vascular tissue in the lower stems of plants with severe root rot (Pythium spp. associated), were non-pathogenic to tomato, bean and pea, although some isolates caused slight damage to cucumber. These isolates were distinctly different from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, the cause of root and crown rot.

Thirty-four isolates of Fusarium oxysporum, obtained in China from cucumber plants showing either Fusarium wilt (F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum) or root and stem rot (F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum) symptoms, were characterized by pathogenicity, vegetative compatibility, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Of these, 23 isolates were identified by pathogenicity as F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, and one as F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum, while 10 isolates were avirulent on cucumber, melon, sponge gourd, and pumpkin. The Chinese isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum were assigned to RAPD groups III and XXI and to vegetative compatibility group (VCG) 0183, four new VCGs, 0184 to 0187, and a single-member VCG included in the artificial VCG 018-. The Chinese isolate of F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum was assigned to RAPD group I and bridging VCG 0260/0261. The occurrence of F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum on cucumber is reported for the first time in China.

The production of volatiles on steamed rice by Australian isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense correlated well with race and vegetative compatibility group (VCG). All race 4 isolates (VCGs 0120, 0129) produced distinctive volatile odours which gave characteristic gas chromatograms where the num- ber of peaks equated to VCG. Race 1 (VCGs 0124, 0125) and race 2 (VCG 0128) isolates, as well as non-pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum from the banana rhizosphere, did not produce detectable volatiles and gave chromatograms without significant peaks.
