Abstract
In 2022, blast-like symptoms were observed on Hymenachne amplexicaulis plants in Argentina. The causal agent was identified as Pyricularia oryzae based on its cultural and morphometric characteristics, sequencing of the ITS1–5.8S–ITS2 region, phylogenetic analysis, and PCR amplification of the Pot2 transposon marker. Koch's postulates were fulfilled through pathogenicity tests on both H. amplexicaulis and Oryza sativa cv. Guri INTA CL, placing the isolate within a clade that includes P. oryzae strains known to infect Oryza spp. The ITS sequence was deposited in GenBank under accession number OR741771. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report worldwide of H. amplexicaulis serving as a host for P. oryzae.
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.
