Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Diseased Curcuma caesia plants in the field showed stunted growth, marginal necrosis, vein clearing in young leaves and wilting of older basal leaves.
- Observation BLASTn analysis confirmed the isolate from diseased Curcuma caesia as Fusarium oxysporum.
- Observation Pure cultures of the isolate produced uniform colonies with abundant, dense, whitish-pink aerial mycelia.
- Observation Microscopy showed oval to reniform, aseptate microconidia.
- Observation Macroconidia were faintly falcate to nearly straight, delicate and 3-septate, and associated with terminal chlamydospores.
- Intervention effect Healthy C. caesia leaves inoculated with a spore suspension developed symptoms similar to field symptoms within 7 days at 29°C, while distilled water controls showed no effect.
- Observation The pathogen was consistently re-isolated from infected tissues and identified by morphology, fulfilling Koch's postulates.
