Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation A new fruit rot was observed on strawberry fruits in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, in March 2024.
- Observation Ten Cladosporium isolates were obtained from symptomatic strawberry tissue.
- Observation Colonies of the isolate were dark green with a velvety surface, concentric rings and a white marginal zone.
- Observation Conidiophores were hyaline, straight or slightly curved and mostly unbranched.
- Observation Conidia were ovoid, lemon-shaped or fusiform, and unicellular.
- Observation Conidia measured 3.22 – 13.5 µm × 2.08 – 5.32 µm (n=100).
- Observation The ITS and ACT sequences were identical among the ten isolates.
- Observation The ITS sequence showed 99.3% identity with C. anthropophilum.
- Observation The ACT sequence showed 98.8% similarity to C. anthropophilum.
- Observation Phylogenetic analyses of ITS and ACT placed isolate CMGF-23 within the C. anthropophilum clade with support.
- Observation This is the first report of C. anthropophilum causing fruit rot of strawberry.
