Leaf Spot and Stem Rot on Wilford Swallowwort Caused by Stemphylium lycopersici in Korea

In June 2012, leaf spot and stem rot were observed on Wilford Swallowwort plants grown in Cheonan, Korea. Three fungal isolates obtained from the diseased leaves and stems were identified as Stemphylium lycopersici, based on morphological, cultural, and molecular characteristics and pathogenicity. This is the first report of leaf spot and stem rot on Wilford Swallowwort caused by S. lycopersici.

A leaf spot of figwort ( Scrophularia ningpoensis ) caused by Phoma sp

A leaf spot of figwort (Scrophularia ningpoensis) caused by Phoma sp. Abstract: Since 2006, a new disease caused by Phoma sp. has been identified on figwort (Scrophularia ningpoensis) in Hubei province, China. The pathogen was isolated from diseased S. ningpoensis leaves growing under field conditions, and attempts were made to identify it by cultural and morphological characteristics as well a...

Analysis of leaf appearance , leaf death and phoma leaf spot , 1 caused by Leptosphaeria maculans , on oilseed rape ( Brassica 2 napus ) cultivars

Resolving the Phoma enigma.

The Didymellaceae was established in 2009 to accommodate Ascochyta, Didymella and Phoma, as well as several related phoma-like genera. The family contains numerous plant pathogenic, saprobic and endophytic species associated with a wide range of hosts. Ascochyta and Phoma are morphologically difficult to distinguish, and species from both genera have in the past been linked to Didymella sexual ...

Population structure of Stemphylium lycopersici associated with leaf spot of tomato in a single field

Stemphylium lycopersici is an important pathogen causing leaf spot of tomatoes worldwide. Although much information is available about the pathogen, little is known about dynamics of S. lycopersici in tomato fields. Seventy-nine symptomatic leaf samples were collected from two tomato cultivars grown in a farm (Miral and Inbred line). Fungal species associated with the disease were isolated on p...
