Abstract: | Based on inoculation experiments and morphological studies on the pathogenic isolates of Plectosporium spp., Microdochium blight (Hakuhan-byo in Japanese) of pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) occurring in Japan was reconfirmed to be caused by Plectosporium tabacinum, and seedling blight (Kabugare-byo in Japanese) of ranunculus (Ranunculus asiaticus L.) was demonstrated to be caused by P. tabacinum. Both diseases are renamed Plectosporium blight in this article. Some isolates of the fungus appeared to have host specificity, whereas the others had either weak or no pathogenicity to pumpkin and ranunculus. |
