Abstract. The severity of apple root rot, dominated by fungi of the genus Fusarium, is increasing every year. With advances in DNA sequencing and microscopy technologies, the number of newly discovered and described species of this genus is growing. Fusarium spp. plant pathogens contain virulence genes in their genome, such as genes encoding trichothecene mycotoxins that produce deoxynivalenol (DON), as well as genes responsible for the production of other toxins and effector proteins. However,
