ISOLATION AND MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL Fusarium oxysporum FROM SUMAC PLANT | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Rhus coriaria Sumacs L. As a food spice, food colourant and preservative, it has long been used and is now used in cosmetics, medicines and in the animal leather industry. 

Fungi infecting this plant were isolated and identified by morphological and molecular methods, particularly by PCR and ITS region sequencing for the most dominant isolates.

The isolation results showed that the highest frequency of Fusarium oxysporum was 27%, followed by Cylindrocarpon, Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia solani and Alternaria sp. With frequency rates of 23%, 20%, 16% and 10% respectively, whereas the Verticillium dahlia and Cephalosprum sp. With a pace of 2 percent for both, they were the least common.

New Fusarium oxysporum isolates that were registered with the GeneBank database were discovered by sequencing.
