Abstract
During September of 2020, Fruit suspected to be rot were observed on Choerospondias axillaris grown in an plantation in Yichun, Jiangxi, China. Approximately 10% of the fruit was discovered to be infected. The morphological features of the fungal isolate was identical to the features of Botryosphaeria dothidea. Phylogeny of concatenated sequences of the ITS, SSU, LSU and TUB2 genes were used to identify the causative agent as B.dothidea. Pathogenicity tests confirmed that this fungal species is the causal agent to C. axillaris. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of B. dothidea on C. axillaris in China and the world.
