In order to study the species composition and differences in pathogenicity of Fusarium crown rot of wheat pathogens in Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces, 663 strains displaying crown rot symptoms were systematically collected from 35 sampling sites in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces in the spring of 2023. Subsequently, five strains were randomly selected from each sampling site for pathogen isolation, and morphological observation and the molecular identification of ITS and trichothecene biosynthetic 1(Tri1) sequences were carried out. 138 strains were isolated from 175 cultures, and 85 strains of Fusarium spp. were identified by morphological and sequence analysis: including 72 strains of Fusarium pseudograminearum (84.71%), 7 strains of F. tricinctum (8.24%), 3 strains of F. graminearum (3.53%), 2 strains of F. avenaceum (2.35%), and 1 strain of F. verticillioidis (1.18%). The results showed that F. pseudograminearum was identified as the dominant pathogen causing Fusarium crown rot of wheat in Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces. Furthermore, 32 strains of F. pseudograminearum were randomly selected to identify the pathogenicity of wheat seedlings. It was found that there were significant differences in pathogenicity among different strains. In addition, the Tri1 gene specific marker was developed in this study. Although the polymorphism of Tri1 did not directly correspond to the difference in pathogenicity, the marker effectively distinguished between F. pseudograminearum and F. graminearum. In summary, this study confirmed that the dominant strain of Fusarium crown rot of wheat in Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces were F. pseudograminearum, and the isolates of F. pseudograminearum from different samples had significant differences in pathogenicity at seedling stage of wheat.
