Zhao, Zhi -Hui & Guo-Zhong Lu. Fusarium kyushuense, a newly recorded species from China. Mycotaxon 102: 119-126. 2007.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium kyushuense was isolated from rice seeds collected in Fuquan City, Guizhou Province, China. The recovered isolates produce carmine pigments on PDA, microconidia on polyphialides in the aerial mycelia in a continuous range of shape and size. Chlamydospores were not observed. ITS ribosomal DNA and partial β-tubulin gene sequences are consistent with the morphological identification. This is the first record of this species from China.
