First report of wood canker caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum on grapevine in California
Plant Disease 97 (11), 1511-1511
Abstract: During 2012, grape vines (Vitis vinifera) grown in California, U.S.A. were observed with symptoms of shoot blight with wilting and necrosis of leaves and drying and shriveling of berries. Wood cankers in the spurs, cordons, and trunks of affected vines were also present. The fungus Neoscytalidium dimidiatum 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.
