Research Abstract

In this study, the causal agent of Centuarea ragusina wilt disease was recorded for the first time in Egypt. Morphological characterization and DNA sequencing showed that the pathogen was Fusarium solani. A pathogenicity test conducted gave 60 % infection. A pure culture of F. solani was isolated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25 °C from diseased plants and deposited in the culture collection of the Assiut University Mycological
Centre as AUMC 9299 and the ITS sequence was uploaded to GenBank as accession number MG734215.
