Neoscytalidium dimidiatum causes leaf blight on Sansevieria trifasciata in Brazil

Abstract: Sansevieria trifasciata plants showing symptoms of leaf blight were observed in Teresina City, Brazil. Based on morphology and the phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of the EF-1α and ITS regions, two isolates of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum were identified. Pathogenicity tests showed that the isolates caused leaf blight on S. trifasciata, in addition to Sansevieria cylindrica, and fulfilled Koch's postulates. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first to describe N. dimidiatum on Sansevieria in Br… Show more

“…Although N. dimidiatum almost infects the woody plants, but there are some reports that this species causes disease on leafy plants. The N. dimidiatum has been reported as the leaf blight causal agent on white spider lily ( Hymenocallis littoralis ) in Malaysia, Cattleya × hybrid in Taiwan, Sansevieria trifasciata in Brazil, Origanum onites and Melissa officinalis in Turkey 18 , 19 , 22 , 68 , 69 . Based on our observation of the surveyed greenhouse, about 16 percent of the growing Clivia plants had the leaf blight symptom, similar to the sampled symptom, showing the importance of the emerging leaf blight disease on Clivia plants caused by N. dimidiatum .…”

“…However, several fungal pathogens are recognized causing leaf spots on Sansevieria spp., such as Chaetomella sp. (Li et al 2013), Stemphylium lycopersici (Kee et al 2017a), S. vesicarium (Ahmadpour and Poursafar 2018), Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (Kee et al 2017b;Monteles et al 2020), Lasiodiplodia spp. (Kee et al 2019), Curvularia spp.…”
