**2. Taxonomy**

The genus *Fusarium* was introduced in 1809 [1]. During 1809–1935, much of the works on *Fusarium* were focused on identification of *Fusarium* species and diagnosis of *Fusarium* diseases. In the past 100 years, the taxonomy of *Fusarium* has undergone a number of changes, which is adapted and "The *Fusarium* Laboratory Manual" [3].
