Abstract

Fig (Ficus carica variety “Banane”) plants are predominantly cultivated in Yeongam County, located in the southern region of South Korea. In September 2023 and 2024, approximately 60%–70% of the leaves of fig trees exhibited rust symptoms, consistent with those caused by isolates of Cerotelium fici. Yellow-brown urediniospores, measuring 21.7 ± 2.6 × 29.4 ± 3.6 μm, were identified through microscopic examination. Sequences of the genes encoding the large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal RNA and cytochrome c oxidase revealed closest identity to C. fici. This finding highlights the need for the development of effective management strategies for fig leaf rust, especially under the conditions of climate change.

韩国无花果叶锈病首次报道

无花果（Ficus carica品种“Banane”）植物主要种植在位于韩国南部地区的灵岩县。在2023年和2024年9月，约60%-70%的无花果树叶子出现锈病症状，与无花果Cerotelium fici分离株引起的症状一致。显微镜下检出大小为21.7±2.6 × 29.4±3.6 μm的黄棕色uredinio孢子。核糖体RNA大亚基（LSU）和细胞色素c氧化酶的编码基因序列显示，它们与无花果树最接近。这一发现强调了制定有效的无花果叶锈病管理策略的必要性，特别是在气候变化的条件下。

期刊介绍： Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays. Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes. Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
