Abstract
A new leaf blight disease in Schleichera oleosa seedlings was detected in a Kerala state forest nursery, India. Through morphological, cultural characterization, and multi-gene phylogenetic analysis, the fungal pathogen was identified as Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae-sinensis, the first report on Schleichera in India. Koch’s postulates were fulfilled. Research attention is required to manage emerging seedling diseases for quality planting materials.
期刊介绍:
Australasian Plant Disease Notes is an international journal for publication of short reports from all countries which describe original research that transcends national boundaries. All aspects of plant pathology are covered including new geographical records of diseases or pathogens, new pathogens or pathogen strains, taxonomic papers, quarantine notes, disease management and diagnostic methods. Australasian Plant Disease Notes is a publication of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society.
