Abstract
Abstract Impatiens balsamina (garden balsam) is an annual herb and widely grown for ornamental and medicinal use in China. In 2020 and 2021, powdery mildew symptoms were found on I. balsamina in Xinxiang City, Henan Province, China. The pathogenic fungus was identified based on its morphological characteristics and molecular analysis. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was amplified and sequenced. The sequence obtained for the fungus showed 100% identity with the previously reported Podosphaera xanthii. The virulence of the pathogen on I. balsamina was confirmed by utilizing Koch’s postulates. Therefore, we identified the causal organism of this disease as P. xanthii. This is the first report of powdery mildew caused by P. xanthii on I. balsamina in China. The identification of P. xanthii on I. balsamina will support efforts towards its future control and management.
期刊介绍:
Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology is an international journal which publishes the results of scientific research and other information relevant to the discipline of plant pathology as review papers, research articles, notes and disease reports. Papers may be submitted in English or French and are subject to peer review. Research articles and notes include original research that contributes to the science of plant pathology or to the practice of plant pathology, including the diagnosis, estimation, prevention, and control of plant diseases. Notes are generally shorter in length and include more concise research results. Disease reports are brief, previously unpublished accounts of diseases occurring on a new host or geographic region. Review papers include mini-reviews, descriptions of emerging technologies, and full reviews on a topic of interest to readers, including symposium papers. These papers will be highlighted in each issue of the journal and require prior discussion with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission.
