Article Synopsis
- - Parrotia subaequalis is valued for its distinctive bark and large galls, making it a popular choice for bonsai, but it was recently affected by a significant leaf blight outbreak in China with an 80% incidence rate among seedlings.
- - The leaf blight starts with small brown spots that grow darker and expand, leading to leaf wilting and potential plant death, which hampers growth.
- - Researchers isolated 30 tissue samples from affected leaves, identifying six fungal isolates whose characteristics suggested they belong to the Botryosphaeria genus; further molecular analysis confirmed one isolate (IS2116-1) using various gene sequencing techniques.
