Abstrakt: Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the second most important crop in Mexico after corn due to the high consumption of beans in all regions of the country. In the winter (January 2016), bean plants showing wilting, root discoloration and necrosis were observed, with an incidence of approximately 30% in different fields (<1 ha) in Tecoanapa, Guerrero State, Mexico. Symptomatic fine roots (<2 mm) were cut into 0.5 cm long pieces, washed with tap-water, surface disinfected with 1.5% NaOCl for 3 min, and rinsed with sterile distilled water. Thirty-five pieces were placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA, Difco) and incubated at 25 ℃ for seven days. Then, single-spore isolates were obtained. Colonies on PDA showed abundant white aerial mycelium and a growth rate of 4.5 mm/day, and in reverse, colonies were white/pink with a brown centre. Microconidia were cylindrical to ellipsoid, aseptate, hyaline and 7.8-(6.0)-4.7 × 2.7-(2.1)-1.6 µm. On carnation leaf agar, macroconidia were 37.8-(29.4)-23.5 × 4.1-(3.5)-2.6 µm, hyaline, falcate, with slightly curved apexes, and 3-5 septa. Chlamydospores were round, intercalary, hyaline, single or in chains (Boot 1971). A representative strain (CSAEGRO-AyDi-Ef) was analyzed by PCR and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) gene (GenBank accession number MK945757) was sequenced using the EF-1/EF-2 primers (O'Donnell 2000). FUSARIUM-ID (Geiser et al. 2004) analysis showed 100% similarity with the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC 3+4) strain NRRL28562. In addition, Bayesian phylogenetic analysis placed this strain in the Fusarium falciforme clade. A pathogenicity test was performed by immersing healthy plant roots (cv. Negro Jamapa) in 200 mL of a conidial suspension (50×106 conidia mL-1) for 10 min, and then transplanting the plants into pots. Control plants were immersed in sterile distilled water. Similar symptoms as those in the field were observed at 10 days after inoculation, and the controls were healthy. The fungus was reisolated from infected plants and showed the same morphology and tef1 sequence as the original isolate, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Recently, F. falciforme was reported to cause wilting of P. vulgaris in Cuba (Duarte et al. 2019); however, this is the first report of F. falciforme (FSSC 3+4) causing wilt disease of P. vulgaris in Mexico. This species was previously reported in Mexico affecting onion (Tirado-Ramírez et al. 2018), papaya, tomato (Vega-Gutiérrez et al. 2019a, b), and maize (Douriet-Angulo et al. 2019), suggesting an ample host range in the country.
