Abstract/Contents: | "All Fusarium species have one taxonomic feature in common: production of distinctly shaped macroconidia, usually with a foot-shaped basal cell, when produced in sporodochia. This stable feature, when combined with other primary and secondary criteria, composes the basis for the classical approach to Fusarium taxonomy. Several taxonomic keys and manuals have been developed to accommodate these criteria. A fundamental problem inherent in Fusarium identification is that members of the genus vary widely in morphological and nonmorphological characteristics, including virulence, and these criteria are used in taxonomic systems." Several gaps and problematic areas in the current systems of Fusarium taxonomy and identification are considered. These include the anamorph-teleomorph connection, section relationships, species delimitation, mutational variants, and subgroup identification. |
