Fusarium moniliforme was the first scientific name given to that species, back in 1904. Now, we call it Gibberella fujikori in honor to the molecule it produces (gibberelin) and its founder, a Japanese Doctor with last name Fujikori.

In Japanese plantations they call it "bakanae"--that stand for "foolish seedling"--the disease that F. moniliforme produces on rice seedlings, which causes the producing on non-edible grains, lack of support in stems and hence, the death of rice plants.
