Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Catalpa bungei leaf disease incidence reached 54% at the surveyed farm in Nanyang.
- Observation Leaf spot on Catalpa bungei began as irregular yellowish-brown round spots and later developed dark lesion edges and yellowing.
- Observation Twenty diseased Catalpa bungei leaves yielded 29 phenotypically similar purified fungal strains.
- Observation Three fungal strains from Catalpa bungei leaf spots clustered with Alternaria alternata strain CBS 121456.
- Observation Morphology and molecular analysis identified the Catalpa bungei leaf spot isolates as Alternaria alternata.
- Intervention effect Inoculation with the three Alternaria alternata isolates caused natural-looking lesions on Catalpa bungei seedlings after four days, while water controls showed no symptoms.
- Observation The inoculated Catalpa bungei seedlings yielded reisolated cultures identical to the original strains.
