Published: May 2016

Dracaena sanderiana, of the family Liliaceae, is among the ornamental plants most frequently imported into Egypt. Typical anthracnose symptoms were observed on the stems of imported D. sanderiana samples. The pathogen was isolated, demonstrated to be pathogenic based on Koch's rule and identified as Colletotrichum dracaenophilum. The optimum temperature for its growth ranges from 25 to 30 °C, maintained for 8 days. Kemazed 50% wettable powder (WP) was the most effective fungicide against the pathogen, as no fungal growth was observed over 100 ppm. The biocontrol agents Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viride followed by Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus caused the highest reduction in fungal growth. To the best of our knowledge, this report describes the first time that this pathogen was observed on D. sanderiana in Egypt.

Curvature is an integral part of the complex tissue architecture across various length scales. Therefore, several models with a patterned curvature in different length scales have been developed to understand the role of this in cellular behavior. At the subcellular scale, wavy patterns have been reported wherein concave and convex grooves are adjacently present.

Chinese water bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) is a popular houseplant due to its ability to survive in various indoor conditions. In October 2020, pronounced leaf blight symptoms with approximately 50% disease incidence were observed on water bamboo in the 35-ha field of Wenchang county (19°50'45'' N, 110°21'38'' E), Hainan, China. The diseased leaves showed pale green with yellowish lesions, dried and shrivelled tips.
