Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most commonly consumed legume crops worldwide However, in Serbia, it is a novel crop grown on approximately 120 acres. Fusarium wilt caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris is one of the most economically important disease in the most chickpea-growing areas, but yet there has been no formal report of the Fusarium wilt of chickpea in Serbia. In June 2018, the first symptoms of Fusarium wilt were registered as wilted chickpea plants grouped in patches on approximately 5% plants in the area of 3 acres. Symptoms as yellowing and necrosis of foliage appeared as late wilt in the podding stage. Roots of affected plants showed no external discoloration, but cross-sections showed darkbrown discoloration of xylem tissue. To isolate the causal agent, symptomatic plants were collected, and ten cuttings of symptomatic root tissue were surface disinfected with 2% sodium hypochlorite solution for 5 min, rinsed three times in sterile distilled water, air-dried... on sterilized filter paper and plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and water agar (WA) amended with streptomycin sulfate. After seven days of incubation, isolates were preliminarily identified according to their morphological characters and Fusarium Laboratory Manual. For each isolate 100, micro/macroconidia and chlamydospores were measured. Conidia were hyaline; macroconidia sickle-shaped, with blunt ends, 2-4 septa (10.1-17.7 x 3.1-5.8 μm); microconidia ellipsoidal, 0-1 septa (4.9-8.6-2.7-3.5 μm). Chlamydospores were globose (4.3-8.8 μm). Representative isolates (K343, K375 and K378) were purified by a single-spore technique for further analyses (Leslie and Summerell, 2006). Molecular identification of three representative isolates (K343, K375 and K378) was made by sequencing the rRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and translation elongation factor 1α (TEF1) gen. For all isolates, the ITS and TEF1 genes were amplified and sequenced with primers ITS1/4 EF1-728 and EF1-986. Based on a BLAST search of the NCBI nucleotide database, the ITS sequences (GenBank MK920204.1, MK928423.1 and MK928424.1) had 99.8% identity with F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris isolate (MK074845.1). The TEF1 (GenBank MN788462.1, MN788463.1 and MN788464.1) had 96.3 -100% identities with F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris isolate (FJ538245.1). The pathogenicity test was conducted on 7-day old plants according to the drench method. The concentration of inoculation suspensions was adjusted on 1x106, and ten plants per isolate were tested and inoculated with 10 ml of suspension. Control plants were drenched with 10 ml of sterilized distilled water. Nine days after inoculation, first symptoms as leaves wilting and white mycelia presence around stem base occurred on plants inoculated with isolate K378. On day 11, the first symptoms occurred on plants inoculated with isolates K343 and K375 as well. Up to the 13th day after inoculation, all plants were wilted, and the pathogen was successfully reisolated and confirmed as F. oxysporum f.sp. ciceris. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of F. oxysporum f.sp. ciceris causing Fusarium wilt on chickpea in Serbia.
