Oriental chestnut has more resistance than American one. Twenty-five cultivars of chestnut treeincluding various cultivars such as Tsukuba, Okkwang, Rihei, Ginyose, Eunsan, etc. were tested with a rapid, simple and reliable method. The cultivar Banseki is one of the most resistant cultivars tested and has the necrotic area of 0.40 cm2. However, the necrotic areas of the cultivars of American chestnut, Eunsan, Kwangjujoyul and Eaton, ranges from 3.35 to 2.61 cm2 and these cultivars are relatively susceptible to this pathogen. Many pycnidia of this pathogen were observed on the inner and outer bark tissues after incubating for 3 weeks.展开更多
