Fungi associated with seeds of huckleberry (Solanum scabrum Mill.) grown in the western highlands of Cameroon.

Seeds from ten varieties of huckleberry (SS01, SS01a, SS02, SS05, SS08, SS08H, SS18, SS18a, SS19 and SS25) obtained from the seed bank of the Faculty of Agronomy and Agricultural Sciences, University of Dschang, Cameroon were used for detection of seed-borne fungi. Four hundred seeds of each variety were surface sterilized and incubated for seven days at 22±2 o C under an alternating light cycle of 12 h darkness and 12 h light provided by white fluorescent tube. The seed germination percentage ranged from 21 to 94% with an infection percentage variation from 1 to 31%. A total of 19 fungi were found associated with these seeds. These were Alternaria alternata, Altenaria brassicicila, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium sp., Curvularia lunata, Colletotrichum sp., Cercospora sesame, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium oxysporium, Fusarium pallidoroseum, Fusarium solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, Phoma spp, Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizopus nigricans, Verticillium sp. This is the first report on huckleberry seed associated fungi which might be a stepping point towards the management of huckleberry diseases and can be a useful guide to strategic seed disease control.
