Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Disease incidence averaged 10.4% ± 2.07% (SD) across 500 fruits in the Qujing Normal University orchard.
- Observation The Alternaria isolate conidia averaged 8.66 × 15.50 μm.
- Observation The isolate sequences showed 95–100% homology to Alternaria alternata reference strains.
- Observation In concatenated multigene phylogeny, isolate BHB was placed within the A. alternata clade.
- Observation Combined morphology and multigene phylogeny identified isolate BHB as A. alternata.
- Observation Reisolated cultures from lesions were morphologically and molecularly identical to A. alternata.
- Intervention effect Mycelial plug inoculation produced lesions on all wounded and unwounded fruits, compared with sterile-water controls.
- Intervention effect Conidial suspension produced lesions only on wounded fruits, compared with unwounded fruits.
- Observation Negative controls remained symptom-free.
