Article Synopsis
- Leaf blotch, caused by Alternaria species, is prevalent in apple-growing areas and associated with specific phylogenetic taxa, including a regulated pathogen known for producing a host-selective toxin (HST) that affects apple trees.
- Since 2016, the disease has led to leaf blotch and tree defoliation in central and southeastern France, prompting a study to identify the species responsible and check for the apple pathotype.
- The research found that while all tested isolates were pathogenic to the apple cultivars Golden Delicious and Gala, the apple pathotype was absent, and the Golden Delicious cultivar showed higher susceptibility to the Alternaria leaf blotch compared to Gala.
