Curvularia asianensis and Curvularia eragrostidis associated with leaf spot of Sansevieria trifasciata in Malaysia
Journal of Phytopathology 168 (5), 290-296
Abstract: Leaf spot disease was detected on Sansevieria trifasciata in Malaysia. Two Curvularia species namely C. eragrostidis and C. asianensis were isolated as the pathogens. The isolated fungi were identified based on morphology and multigene phylogeny (ITS, GAPDH and TEF1-α). Pathogenicity tests confirmed the roles of both Curvularia isolates in causing leaf spot of S. trifasciata . To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. eragrostidis and C. asianensis causing leaf spot of S. trifasciata in Malaysia.
