Identification of species inciting stem rot of dragon fruit in India through polyphasic approach.

species commonly thrive as endophytes, saprobes, and plant pathogens in tropical and subtropical regions. Association of species causing stem rot in dragon fruit in the coastal belt of Odisha, eastern India, has been illustrated here. The stem rot disease was characterized by yellowing of the stem, followed by softening of the stem tissues with fungal fructifications of the pathogen in the affected tissues.
