Abstract
Brown circular stem canker symptom was observed on common bean plants in Mahallat county, Markazi province, Iran, in the summer of 2022. Five identical associated fungal isolates were recovered from the infected plants. Morphological and molecular characterization of the representative isolate (UTR38) using the partial sequence of beta-tubulin, and as well as RNA polymerase II second largest subunit loci was done. The associated fungus was identified as Paramyrothecium roridum. Pathogenicity of the isolate UTR38 was conducted on six-week-old seedling stems of the P. vulgaris cultivar Sunray. The inoculated fungus was also reisolated from the inoculated plants to fulfill the Koch’s postulates. According to the results, this is the first report of P. roridum as the causal agent of stem canker disease in P. vulgaris in Iran and worldwide.
期刊介绍:
Australasian Plant Disease Notes is an international journal for publication of short reports from all countries which describe original research that transcends national boundaries. All aspects of plant pathology are covered including new geographical records of diseases or pathogens, new pathogens or pathogen strains, taxonomic papers, quarantine notes, disease management and diagnostic methods. Australasian Plant Disease Notes is a publication of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society.
