In May 2014, sclerotinia rot symptoms caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were observed on stored kiwifruit in Jinju, South Korea. The symptoms appeared as soft, water-soaked lesions on fruit covered with a white mycelium. The morphological characteristics and the internal transcribed spacer sequences of rRNA of the pathogen isolated from the sclerotinia rot showed it to be S. sclerotiorum. This was confirmed by performing a pathogenicity test with pure cultures of S. sclerotiorum and by reisolating S. sclerotiorum from artificially inoculated kiwifruits. Our results should help promote a better understanding of the diseases that affect kiwifruit and improve practices for postharvest disease control in the kiwifruit industry.
2014 年 5 月,韩国晋州发现贮藏猕猴桃果实发生由核盘菌(Sclerotinia sclerotiorum)引起的溃疡病症状。病果最初出现水渍状、变软的病斑,病部表面密生白色菌丝体。从溃疡病组织上分离到的病原菌的形态特征和核糖体 RNA 的内部转录间隔区序列分析表明,该病原菌为核盘菌。通过核盘菌纯培养物的致病性测定和对人工接种猕猴桃果实的再分离,证实了这一结果。本研究结果有助于提高对猕猴桃果实病害的认识,并改善猕猴桃采后病害防治措施。
