First report of postharvest stem-end rot of mango fruit (Mangifera indica) caused by Diaporthe pseudomangiferae in China
Plant Disease 107 (2), 582-582
Abstract: During 2021, mango fruits (Mangifera indica) grown in Guangzhou, China were observed with symptoms of postharvest stem-end rot at a local market. The fruit surface had black rot lesions which initially started from the stem end and progressed into a brown decay. The fungus Diaporthe pseudomangiferae was isolated from the diseased fruits. The identification was based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analysis. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
