Fusarium sambucinum is one of the most predominant species among several species of Fusarium that cause dry rot, an economically important post harvest disease, affecting potato tubers worldwide. The yield losses attributed to dry rot in storage range from 10-25%, with almost complete loss of stored tubers in some cases. Fusarium dry rot usually develop dark depressions on the surface of tubers with wrinkled skin and concentric rings as the underlying dead tissue desiccates. Besides, F. Sambucinum is known to produce toxic metabolites in tubers such as trichothecenes, beauvericin, and fusarine, which pose serious threat to human and animal health.
