The genus Talaromyces encompasses a wide range of species that are ubiquitous in nature, thriving in
diverse habitats such as soil, plant debris, and indoor environments. They inhabit different climatic zones
across the globe and play crucial roles in natural ecosystems, through participation in organic matter
decomposition and nutrient cycling. Members of this genus are also important enzyme, pigment and
mycotoxin producers, biocontrol agents, human pathogens and food contaminants (1). Talaromyces spp.
can be plant pathogens and few studies pointed that out (2-5). A polyphasic approach was employed to
identify isolates of Talaromyces originating from diseased stored fruits in our country and subsequently
determine their plant pathogenicity. Following protocols recommended by Yilmaz et al. (1), morphological
examinations were carried out on Czapek yeast autolysate agar (CYA), Malt extract agar (MEA) and
Creatine sucrose agar (CREA). Mycelial growth was also tested at three inc...ubation temperatures (5, 25 and
37°C) while micromorphological features were inspected from MEA-grown cultures. Internal transcribed
spacer (ITS) and beta-tubulin (BenA) regions were used for multilocus sequence typing (1). Molecular
sequences from our isolates were combined with the reference and verified sequences to construct a
combined (ITS+BenA) maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree. A pathogenicity test was conducted on
originating hosts. After combining the results from the identification procedures, two species of
Talaromyces were isolated in this study - Talaromyces minioluteus from pear, quince, tomato and orange
fruits, and T. rugulosus from pear and lemon fruits. Phenotypic characteristics were similar to the previous
descriptions in the literature (1, 6, 7). In pathogenicity assays, all isolates were pathogenic on the originating
hosts. The symptoms in artificial inoculations resembled those found in naturally infected fruits and the
reisolates exhibited the same morphological traits as the original isolates. These are the first detections of
T. minioluteus and T. rugulosus and the first confirmations of their pathogenicity on the beforementioned
plant hosts. The research presented here sheds light on the previously known fungi that can also act as plant
pathogens/food spoilage agents. Their presence on the fruit diminishes its quality and leads to economic
damage. Since different fruit and vegetables are sometimes kept in the same storage facilities, these plant
pathogens residing on them can also contribute to inoculum build-up and cross-contamination phenomena.
