First report of white mould caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on jackfruit
Australasian Plant Disease Notes 10 (10)
Abstract: Symptoms of white mould were first observed on jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) in Rangpur, Bangladesh, during February 2012. Fluffy, white mycelia developed on the fruit surface, along with large irregular black sclerotia. Morphological characteristics and the internal transcribed spacer sequences of ribosomal DNA identified the fungus as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
