Abstract

The distinction of the wilt disease pathogen of carnationFusarium (oxysporum var.)redolens fromF. oxysporum (var.oxysporum) is considered. Previous reports that isolates of both taxa cause indistinguishable diseases in carnation are confirmed.F. (oxysporum var.)redolens andF. oxysporum were found to form one variable complex on morphological criteria. Apparently, host specialization rather than morphological variation reflects the evolutionary relationships in theFusarium sectionElegans. The distinction ofF. redolens fromF. oxysporum does therefore not seem justified, neither at specific nor at varietal level.

Samenvatting

Het onderscheid tussenFusarium (oxysporum var.)redolens enF. (oxysporum var.)oxysporum als verwekkers van verwelkingsziekte bij anjer wordt ter discussie gesteld. Fytopathologisch onderzoek bevestigde vermeldingen in de literatuur dat voor anjer pathogene isolaten van beide soorten ziekten veroorzaken die niet te onderscheiden zijn; dit is ook bekend voor andere gewassen. Op morfologische gronden blekenF. (oxysporum var.)redolens enF. oxysporum één variabel complex te vormen. Kennelijk geeft de pathogene specialisatie inFusarium sectieElegans de evolutionaire verwantschappen beter weer dan de morfologische variatie. Het onderscheiden vanF. redolens naastF. oxysporum is daarom noch als soort, noch als variëteit gerechtvaardigd.
