Abstract

In April 2014, seedlings of Fallopia multiflora showing wilt symptom were first found at a greenhouse in Punggi-eup, Yeongju-si, Korea. A Fusarium-like fungus was isolated from the wilted plant and it was identified as Fusarium oxysporum based on morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence data of translation elongation factor 1-${\alpha}$. The fungus isolated from the diseased plant was revealed to be pathogenic to the host plant through pathogenicity tests, and the reisolation of the pathogen confirmed Koch's postulates. This is the first report of Fusarium wilt occurring on Fallopia multiflora in the world.
