The ARRIP State Collection <strong>of</strong> Phytopathogenic Microorganisms includes more<br />
than 500 strains <strong>of</strong> genus Fusarium, such as F. culmorum, F. oxysporum, F.<br />
sporotrichoides, F. semitectum (F. incarnatum), F. javanicum, F. moniliforme<br />
(Gibberella moniliformis), F. heterosporum (G. gordonii), F. gibbosum (G.<br />
intricans), F. avenaceum (G. avenacea), F. sambucinum (G. pulicaris), F.<br />
graminearum (G. zeae), F. lateritium (G. baccata), F. nivale (Monographella<br />
nivalis), F. solani (Nectria haematococca), F. redolens, F. tricinctum, responsible<br />
for such plant diseases as Root Rot, Scab (Head Blight), Leaf Blotch (Snow<br />
Mold), Fusarium Wilt. The collection was created as the result <strong>of</strong> long-term<br />
monitoring <strong>of</strong> the specific and interspecific composition <strong>of</strong> pathogenic myc<strong>of</strong>lora<br />
on the fields <strong>of</strong> agricultural cultures in different regions <strong>of</strong> Russia and it is regularly<br />
replenished with new specimens. Intraspecific variability <strong>of</strong> pathogens has been<br />
studied concerning their morphological properties, pathogenicity and phytotoxicity.<br />
The cataloguing <strong>of</strong> Fusarium strains with the indication <strong>of</strong> full characteristics <strong>of</strong><br />
their main properties has been carried out. Fusarium species are characterized by<br />
a high genetic variability and are able to lose the viability and change their<br />
physiological properties in the course <strong>of</strong> long-term storage. Included into the State<br />
collection strains are regularly tested and re-cultured to maintain stable<br />
morphological and pathogenic properties. Strains <strong>of</strong> fungi are stored using the<br />
following methods: in test tubes on the standard nutritious medium and on grain at<br />
+4 0 С, in Eppendorf microtubes filled with 50% glycerin at -80 ° C and as lyophilized<br />
material (mycelium and spores) on strips <strong>of</strong> filter paper in cryotubes at -80 ° C. As<br />
required, pathogenic strains are removed from the storage and used for the<br />
research and applied activities.<br />
