Panax notoginseng is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. In this study, an endophytic fungus (Fusarium striatum) was isolated from a P. notoginseng embryo. This soil-born fungus can cause rotten roots; black, soft roots; fewer lateral roots and leaf wilt on P. notoginseng. Application of the fungicide pyraclostrobin can prevent P. notoginseng from developing such disease. This is the first report of root rot disease caused by F. striatum on P. notoginseng in China.
