Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the prevalence of white mold disease affecting Brussels sprouts in Tonatico, Mexico, with a reported incidence of 20-40% and symptoms including necrotic lesions and the production of white mycelium and black sclerotia.
- - Fungal isolation involved surface sterilization of symptomatic stems, resulting in the growth of white, fluffy colonies and small black sclerotia; six isolates were purified for further testing.
- - Molecular analysis confirmed identity through genomic sequencing, showing 100% match with existing sequences in GenBank, and the isolates were classified in a specific clade, with pathogenicity tests ongoing to assess their impact on healthy Brussels sprouts.
Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the second most important crop in Mexico after corn due to the high consumption of beans in all regions of the country. In the winter (January 2016), bean plants showing wilting, root discoloration and necrosis were observed, with an incidence of approximately 30% in different fields (<1 ha) in Tecoanapa, Guerrero State, Mexico.
