Although M. fructigena and the other brown-rot species, M. fructicola and M. laxa, are known on various continents, Monilia polystroma was identified in Japan and initially known only in that country. A recent publis...

Monilinia Species Causing Brown Rot of Peach in China

In this study, 145 peaches and nectarines displaying typical brown rot symptoms were collected from multiple provinces in China. A subsample of 26 single-spore isolates were characterized phylogenetically and morphologically to ascertain species. Phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions 1 and 2, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH), β-tubulin (TUB2) reveale...
