Abstract
Leaf blight was detected on potted blood lily (Scadoxus multiflorus) plants in a garden located in Andhra Pradesh, India. Pycnidia resembling a Lasiodiplodia species were consistently detected on the foliage of symptomatic plants. Based on morphology, cultural features and molecular analysis, the species was identified as Lasiodiplodia theobromae. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by pathogenicity tests carried out on potted blood lily plants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of a disease caused by L. theobromae on S. multiflorus.
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.
