Fusarium proliferatum (Matsush.) Nirenberg 1976

Description

Type: Radicicolous Fungi; Description: Colonies on agar with dense, white vinaceous, floccose to felty aerial mycelium. Chlamydospores none. Microconidia fusiform to clavate, 0-septate, 5–12 × 1.5–2.5 μm, catenate. Macroconidia fusoid, 3–7-septate, 25–60 × 3–4 μm, with a sharply curved apical cell and a well-developed foot cell.

Distribution

Distribution: Northland, Bay of Plenty, Hawkes Bay.; 1st Record: Laundon (1978a: as Gibberella fujikuroi).

Notes

Notes: There is considerable confusion about the synonymy of the New Zealand material described as Fusarium moniliforme. In the broad sense of Wollenweber & Reinking, this name covers not only Fusarium verticilloides but also F. proliferatum var. proliferatum and F. proliferatum var. minus. All these are without known teleomorphs and none are connected with Gibberella fujikuroi sensu stricto. In the absence of definitive work on the New Zealand material, the compromise solution is to record it as Fusarium proliferatum.

Pathogenicity

Significance: Occasionally recorded from forest nurseries (Dick & Dobbie 2002).; Host(s): Dracaena fragrans, Pinus radiata.
