Article Synopsis
- Jatropha curcas L., a versatile crop used for disease treatment and environmental restoration, is gaining attention for its oil, which can be used to produce biodiesel.
- In June 2023, a leaf disease affecting around 60% of J. curcas was reported in Mazhang, Guangdong Province, displaying anthracnose symptoms.
- The disease was studied by culturing infected tissue on potato dextrose agar, leading to the identification of Colletotrichum sp. through morphological characteristics and genetic sequencing.
Hylocereus megalanthus (family Cactaceae), commonly known as bird's nest fruit (Yanwo fruit), was a new tropical plant cultivated commercially in south China because of its high nutritional content and sweet taste. In August 2023, damping-off disease of approximately 60% of seedlings was observed at a nursery in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province (E110°17'46″ N21°9'2″). Stems of infected seedlings exhibited symptoms of water-soaked tissue which caused collapse at the base of the stem and sloughing of necrotic root cortex tissue was observed (Figure 1).
