Article Synopsis
- Italian ryegrass is a well-known forage grass grown extensively in southern China, where a small outbreak of necrotic leaf spots was observed in a large field in April 2021, affecting 1-3% of the plants.
- Researchers isolated tissue samples from affected leaves and grew fungal isolates, identifying three representative strains based on their characteristics on potato dextrose agar (PDA).
- Genetic analysis using specific primers revealed that these isolates had over 99.7% sequence identity with a known fungal ex-type isolate, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed their close relationship to previously reported strains.
