Integrated polyphasic characterization and mycotoxin production of fungal isolates in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) stems from Thailand (opens in new tab)

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is a major agro-industrial crop in Thailand, whose sucrose-rich stems provide a favorable ecological niche for colonization by diverse fungal taxa, including species capable of producing harmful mycotoxins. Despite its importance, integrated assessments of fungal diversity and toxigenic potential in Thai sugarcane tissues remain limited. In this study, we applied an integrated polyphasic approach combining morphological characterization, multilocus phylogenet...
