Article Abstract
Fungal growth inhibition on solid media has been historically measured and calculated based on the average of perpendicular diameter measurements of growth on fungicide amended media. We investigated the sensitivity of the calculated area (DA) and the measured area (MA) for assessing fungicide growth inhibition of the ascomycete, Phyllosticta citricarpa on solid media. Both the calculated, DA and the actual measured area, MA were adequate for distinguishing significant treatment effects of fungicide on fungal growth, however MA was more sensitive at identifying significant differences between the controls and fungicide concentrations below 5 ppm.

Jinggangshan honey pomelo is a specialty fruit grown in Jiangxi Province, China. Pomelo yellow spot disease, also known as greasy spot disease, is a fungal pathology primarily affecting pomelo (Citrus maxima) leaves and fruits. The causative agent is the ascomycete fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa, taxonomically classified within the phylum Ascomycota.

Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by the fungus , significantly affects citrus fruit marketability and can lead to premature fruit drop. Accurate and reliable detection of this quarantine pathogen is crucial, particularly for asymptomatic plant material. This study evaluated two qPCR assays, the EPPO recommended assay PC and assay Pc-TEF1, based on region, for detecting through a collaborative test performance study (TPS).

Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by , is an important fungal disease of citrus. Higher CBS severity has been associated with infections at the young and green stages of fruit. The length of the fruit susceptibility period may be influenced by the amount of inoculum and the climate of the citrus growing region.

Introduction: The exploration of new bioactive compounds for agricultural applications is critical for sustainable development. Endophytic fungi, particularly those from underexplored biomes in Brazil, represent a promising source of natural compounds. This study focused on isolation and bioprospecting endophytic fungi from the medicinal plant (Pohl), grown in Serra do Amolar (Brazilian Pantanal Biome), with an additional emphasis on conserving microbial biodiversity.
