| Abstract |
|
A survey on ornamental diseases in 2000 and 2001 showed frequent occurrence of blight symptoms on leaves and stems of Columbine and Bleeding heart in botanical gardens of Gangwon and Chungnam provinces in Korea. A total of 65 isolates of Streptobotrys sp. were obtained from the infected leaves and stems of the two plants. All isolates were identified as Streptobotrys caulophylli based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Blight symptoms were induced on leaves of the two plants by artificial inoculation with the isolates. This is the first report that S. caulophylli causes leaf and stem blight on Columbine and Bleeding heart in the world. |
