Abstract
Trachelospermum jasminoides (Lindl.) Lem. Is widely used in landscaping. In August 2023, leaf spot disease in T. jasminoides was observed in the city parks and foresty districts of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China. Symptoms of the disease include gray‒white spots of different sizes and round or irregular shapes, and late leaf spots are very prone to crumbling, the formation of perforation symptoms, and leaf scorching and shedding. Pathogenic fungi were isolated from diseased leaves and identified as Fusarium concentricum and F. verticillioides on the basis of morphological features and multilocus phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, RNA polymerase II subunit B (RPB2), calmodulin (CaM), β-tubulin (TUB2) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) gene sequences. Pathogenicity tests revealed that F. concentricum and F. verticillioides can cause leaf spot on T. jasminoides. This study is the first report of F. concentricum and F. verticillioides causing leaf spot on T. jasminoides in China and provides a solid theoretical foundation for the scientific prevention and control of this disease.
期刊介绍:
The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
-Abiotic damage-
Agronomic control methods-
Assessment of pest and disease damage-
Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases-
Biological control-
Biorational pesticides-
Control of animal pests of world crops-
Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms-
Control of weeds and integrated management-
Economic considerations-
Effects of plant growth regulators-
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use-
Environmental effects of pesticides-
Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control-
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications-
Importance and control of postharvest crop losses-
Integrated control-
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies-
Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection-
Pesticide application methods-
Pest management-
Phytobiomes for pest and disease control-
Resistance management-
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
