A new host genus and species (Afzelia xylocarpa) for Phakopsora pachyrhizi found in Thailand
Australasian Plant Disease Notes 7 (1), 125-126
Abstract: Leaves of Afzelia xylocarpa infected with rust were collected from the National Corn and Sorghum Research Centre, Rai Suwan, Nakhon Ratchasima, north-eastern Thailand in January 2011. The rust was identified as Phakopsora pachyrhizi based on morphological and DNA sequence data. Afzelia xylocarpa represents a new host genus and species for this rust fungus, which is commonly known as Asian soybean rust.
