First report of Asian soybean rust caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi in Puerto Rico
Plant Disease 97 (10), 1378-1378
Abstract: Since 2011, soybean plants (Glycine max) plants grown in Puerto Rico were observed with symptoms of small brown specks with chlorotic haloes on the underside of the leaves. The fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi was isolated from the diseased plants. The identification was based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analysis. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
