Sooty mould caused by Capnodium alfenasii on Azadirachta indica

Abstract: In October 2020, sooty moulds were found covering the leaves of neem trees (Azadirachta indica) in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil. Sooty moulds usually grow on honeydew secreted by insects. However, in this observation, insects were not visible on the sooty mould‐infected plants. Rather, the sooty mould grew on the host secretions. Inoculation was performed to confirm the ability of the fungus to grow on host nectaries. Based on the morphological features and phylogenetic analysis, Capnodium alfenasii was… Show more

“…The use of molecular data has greatly facilitated the clarification of fungal taxonomy, including of sooty moulds, and many taxa have been revised or introduced (Hongsanan et al, 2020; Hyde et al, 2013; Li et al, 2020). At the same time, new sooty mould species are constantly being identified (Hongsanan et al, 2015; Mesquita et al, 2022; Xu et al, 2020). The currently available evidence indicates that sooty moulds are polyphyletic and include species belonging to two different classes, namely, Dothideomycetes and Eurotiomycetes (Chomnunti et al, 2014; Chomnunti, Ko, et al, 2012).…”

“…Disease outbreaks caused by this pathogenic fungus are usually accompanied by severe insect infestations (Chomnunti et al, 2014;Khalkho et al, 2021). In contrast, M. camelliae, as a parasitic type, typically infects the extrafloral nectaries region of plant leaves and stems, drawing nutrients from plant tissues to fuel its growth (Mesquita et al, 2022). Severe cases of C. oleifera coal stain have been documented to cause a reduction in yields by 60-70%, which can persist for years to come, ultimately leading to no harvest (Chen, 1980).…”
