Abstract
The achachairu (Garcinia humilis) is an exotic tropical fruit native to Bolivia that has recently gained commercial popularity in Brazil. In a producing region of Pernambuco, Brazil, spots and rot symptoms were observed on the leaves and fruit of G. humilis. Fungal isolates from the Lasiodiplodia genus were obtained from symptomatic tissue. Based on multigenic analyses (TEF1-α, ITS and TUB2) and morphological characteristics, the isolates were identified as L. theobromae, which were confirmed to be pathogenic on achachairu leaves and fruits. This report presents two new diseases in achachairu caused by L. theobromae. This study improves our understanding of the achachairu pathosystem and establishes a foundation for future disease management research.
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.
