DETECTION OF TRICHOTHECENE OF Fusarium solani ISOLATES BY USING HPLC IN MELON PLANTS

Abstract

Fusarium solani is one of the important phytopathogenic causing serious losses on cucurbit plant in Iraq, which are responsible for crown, and Root rots of melon. Ability of Fusarium solani isolates to produce T2-toxen and DON analyzed by using HPLC. The results indicated that the F. solani has potential capacity to produce trichothecene. Thirty-nine isolates investigated with the HPLC method were identified to produceT2 toxin. Also, F. solani isolated that demonstrated a potential capacity for the synthesis of trichthecence DON.
