Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. dianthi (Prill and Delacr.) (Fod) is a causal agent of
wilt disease of carnation (Dianthus caryophyflus L.) with its different
physiological races. Although eleven physiological races of Fod have been
reported in the world, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic
tool was developed for identification of Fod races 1, 2, 4, and 8, which are the
most commonly found in many countries. On the other hand, there is no
information about which races are found in Turkey. A total of 91 isolates were
collected from plants with Fusarium-like symptoms in the most grown
carnation areas in Antalya, İzmir, Isparta and Yalova provinces and all isolates
were identified using molecular methods. As a conclusion, the results showed
that Fod isolates collected from the most carnation grown provinces of Turkey
consist mostly of race 1, 2 and 8. This is the first study reporting Fod races
causing wilt disease on carnation plants in Turkey.
