Abstract
Grape is an important crop due to its consumption as fresh fruit as well as the secondary products developed from the berries such as wines, jams, juice, jellies, and vinegar. Postharvest losses in grapes can adversely affect their market value and the quality of the secondary products developed from grapes. These losses can be due to pathogenic infections and other damage due to improper handling and storage practices. During a brief survey of the cold storage facilities of the Beijing Academy of Forestry and Pomology Sciences, grape berries showing postharvest rot symptoms were collected. Further onsite observations suggested that the disease was postharvest pink mold rot caused by Trichothecium roseum. Trichothecium roseum is an asexually reproducing soil-borne fungus with an unknown sexual morph. This fungus is known to cause postharvest diseases in many fruits and vegetables around the world. Our objective in this study was to report the fi rst occurrence of pink rot on grapes caused by T. roseum with molecular phylogeny, morphological studies, and pathogenicity tests. Also, this is the fi rst report of T. roseum from grapes in China.
期刊介绍:
The Chiang Mai Journal of Science is an international English language peer-reviewed journal which is published in open access electronic format 6 times a year in January, March, May, July, September and November by the Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University. Manuscripts in most areas of science are welcomed except in areas such as agriculture, engineering and medical science which are outside the scope of the Journal. Currently, we focus on manuscripts in biology, chemistry, physics, materials science and environmental science. Papers in mathematics statistics and computer science are also included but should be of an applied nature rather than purely theoretical. Manuscripts describing experiments on humans or animals are required to provide proof that all experiments have been carried out according to the ethical regulations of the respective institutional and/or governmental authorities and this should be clearly stated in the manuscript itself. The Editor reserves the right to reject manuscripts that fail to do so.
