AI Article Synopsis
- * The researchers identified a Scytalidium-like fungus and confirmed it as Neoscytalidium dimidiatum through genetic analysis.
- * This report is significant because it's the first documentation of N. dimidiatum causing leaf blight in Clivia miniata and Clivia nobilis globally, marking these plants as new hosts for the fungus.
Article Abstract
In this survey, the symptomatic leaves of Clivia miniata were collected from a greenhouse in Karaj city of Iran. The isolation and morphological investigation showed Scytalidium-like fungus associated with leaf blight symptom. The phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer along with partial sequences of rDNA large subunit and translation elongation factor 1-α (tef-1α) genomic regions confirmed the identification of the recovered isolate as Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. The pycnidial morph of the fungus didn't observe both in vitro and in vivo. The pathogenicity test on C. miniata and C. nobilis was also conducted to fulfill the Koch's postulates. To our Knowledges, this is the first report of N. dimidiatum causing leaf blight disease on C. miniata and C. nobilis worldwide, as well as these host plants are new for N. dimidiatum in the world.
