- Abstract
Fusariosis symptoms were detected on pineapple fruits and leaves in several states in Peninsular Malaysia. Eight Fusarium fujikuroi isolates were isolated and identified using a partial Translation Elongation Factor -1α (TEF) and β-tubulin sequences. The isolates showed 98–100 % similarity with F. fujikuroi NRRL43610. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined TEF and β-tubulin sequences showed that the eight isolates clustered with F. fujikuroi from rice. Koch’s postulates were fulfilled on pineapple fruits and leaves confirming pathogenicity of the F. fujikuroi isolates.
