Bot Gummosis of Lemon (Citrus × limon) Caused by Neofusicoccum parvum

Abstract: Neofusicoccum parvum, in the family Botryosphaeriaceae, was identified as the causal agent of bot gummosis of lemon (Citrus × limon) trees, in the two major lemon-producing regions in Italy. Gummy cankers on trunk and scaffold branches of mature trees were the most typical disease symptoms. Neofusicoccum parvum was the sole fungus constantly and consistently isolated from the canker bark of symptomatic lemon trees. It was identified on the basis of morphological characters and the phylogenetic analysis of thre… Show more

“…Crous & Slippers and Ceratocystis ficicola Kajitani & Masuya [5,6,10,[38][39][40][41][42]. Some of these species, in particular L. theobromae and N. parvum, both in the Botryosphaeriaceae family, are cosmopolitan and very polyphagous pathogens, often reported as causal agents of perennial stem cankers on woody plants [41,43]. Moreover, members of Botryosphaeriaceae were reported to be responsible for limb cankers in loquat [7,8].…”

“…In pathogenicity tests on heterologous host plants, S. banihashemiana isolates were also pathogenic to almond, olive, apple, and quince, suggesting very likely this new fungal species has a broader host range than just fig and loquat. The ability to infect heterologous hosts has epidemiological relevance as it implies the risk of both cross-infection between different plant species and accidental introduction of pathogen inoculum into commercial crops through alternate host plants, as already hypothesized for several other polyphagous fungus and oomycete plant pathogens [41,[49][50][51].…”

“…The pathogenicity of the two Phytophthora species, recovered from roots and stem bark of P. elongata × P. fortunei trees in Calabria, was tested in two separate experiments, using the soil infestation method as described by La Spada et al [22] and the method of stem inoculation by wounding as described by Aloi et al [23], respectively. The isolates C2K3A (Ph.…”

“…Six saplings were inoculated with each isolate, and four were used as control. The basal stem, near the collar, was disinfected with 70% ethanol, and a disk of bark (5 mm diameter) was removed with a flamed cork borer and replaced with an agar-mycelium plug taken from the margin of an actively growing colony on V8A as described by Aloi et al [23]. The wound was covered by putting the excised bark disk back on the wound and then sealing it tightly with Parafilm ® .…”
