Identification of Pathogens on Dry Blight Disease in Leaf Tip of Red-fleshed Kiwifruit in Qiandongnan Prefecture

In order to reduce the harm of diseases in red-fleshed kiwifruit in Qiandongnan Prefecture and ensure product quality, a new disease in the producing areas were investigated, and pathogen identification were carried out. The pathogen was isolated from diseased leaves by a tissue separation method. DNA sequencing was performed by the sequence analysis of ribosomal rDNA-ITS(Internal transcribed spacer) region, and a molecular evolutionary tree was constructed by the MEGA 4.0 software. The pathogenic fungus was classified and identified by combining morphological observation finally. The results showed that the dry blight disease in leaf tip was a new disease, which was caused by Epicoccum sorghinum, and it had a serious damage to red-fleshed kiwifruit.

黔东南州红心猕猴桃叶尖干枯病病原鉴定

为减少黔东南州的红心猕猴桃病害危害、保证产品质量,对产区内的新病害发生情况进行调查研究及病原鉴定。采用组织分离法对病叶进行病原菌分离,使用核糖体rDNA-ITS(Internal transcribed spacer)区序列分析法进行DNA测序,使用MEGA 4.0软件构建分子进化树,结合形态学观察对致病菌进行分类鉴定。结果表明,由病原菌高粱附球菌(Epicoccum sorghinum)导致的一种新病害——叶尖干枯病对红心猕猴桃有严重危害。
