Fusarium solani species complex newly identified to cause root rot in hydroponically grown lettuce and cilantro in Puerto Rico
Plant Pathology 58 (4), 801-801
Abstract: During 2006, cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) plants grown hydroponically in Puerto Rico were observed with symptoms of leaf chlorosis, stunting and necrosis in the vascular tissue. A fungus belonging to the Fusarium solani species complex was isolated from the diseased plants. The identification was based on morphological characteristics and ITS sequence analysis. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
