Journal ArticleDOI
A species-specific PCR assay based on the calmodulin partial gene for identification of Fusarium verticillioides, F. proliferatum and F. subglutinans
TL;DR: The developed PCR assay should provide a powerful tool for the detection of toxigenic fungi in maize kernels and is confirmed by analyzing DNA of 150 strains of these species, mostly isolated from maize in Europe and USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspergillus niger contains the cryptic phylogenetic species A. awamori.
Giancarlo Perrone,Gaetano Stea,Filomena Epifani,János Varga,Jens Christian Frisvad,Robert A. Samson +5 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses of sequences generated from portions of three genes coding for the proteins β-tubulin, calmodulin, and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha of a population of A. niger strains isolated from grapes in Europe revealed the presence of a cryptic phylogenetic species within this population, A. awamori.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific detection of the toxigenic species Fusarium proliferatum and F. oxysporum from asparagus plants using primers based on calmodulin gene sequences.
TL;DR: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were developed for the rapid identification of F. proliferatum and F. oxysporum in asparagus plants and successfully applied to identify both species from the vegetative part of the plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspergillus uvarum sp. nov., an uniseriate black Aspergillus species isolated from grapes in Europe.
Giancarlo Perrone,János Varga,Antonia Susca,Jens Christian Frisvad,Gaetano Stea,Sándor Kocsubé,Beáta Tóth,Zofia Kozakiewicz,Robert A. Samson +8 more
TL;DR: A novel species, Aspergillus uvarum sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birth, death and horizontal transfer of the fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster during the evolutionary diversification of Fusarium
Robert H. Proctor,François Van Hove,Antonia Susca,Gaetano Stea,Mark Busman,Theo van der Lee,Cees Waalwijk,Antonio Moretti,Todd J. Ward +8 more
TL;DR: Uniform gene organization within the FUM cluster belies a complex evolutionary history that has not always paralleled the evolution of Fusarium.
