Abstract
Leaf chlorosis and root browning with root rot were observed on mature Cinnamomum camphora (Linn) Presl between 2021 and 2023 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China. Three strains of fungi consistently isolated from the diseased roots were selected for identification and pathogenicity test. They were identified as Fusarium decemcellulare Brick based on the morphology and phylogenetic analysis using combined sequence data. The pathogenicity of the strains was verified by inoculating on C. camphora seedings in pots. Fusarium decemcellulare was reisolated from the artificially inoculated roots of C. camphora seedings. To our knowledge, this is the first report that F. decemcellulare causes root rot on C. camphora worldwide and its potential threat should be monitored.
期刊介绍:
This peer reviewed, highly specialized journal covers forest pathological problems occurring in any part of the world. Research and review articles, short communications and book reviews are addressed to the professional, working with forest tree diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses, and phytoplasms; their biology, morphology, and pathology; disorders arising from genetic anomalies and physical or chemical factors in the environment. Articles are published in English.
Fields of interest: Forest pathology, effects of air pollution and adverse environmental conditions on trees and forest ecosystems.
