Article Synopsis
- * Samples from diseased branches were collected, sterilized, and cultured, leading to the growth of similar greyish-white fungal colonies identified as Lasiodiplodia sp. based on their morphological characteristics.
- * Molecular identification was conducted using PCR to amplify specific genetic markers, resulting in sequences deposited in GenBank that matched known sequences for Lasiodiplodia sp.

Article Synopsis
- Fungal pathogens significantly hinder the quality of pomegranate production globally, with specific species causing various fruit and leaf diseases.
- Researchers conducted a study in Maharashtra, India, to accurately identify these fungal isolates using multi-gene phylogeny, since traditional morphological identification was insufficient.
- The study revealed that multiple fungal species, not just one, are responsible for pomegranate fruit rots in India, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies due to differing species' sensitivities to fungicides.
