Abstract:

This experiment was conducted to isolate,pathogenicity determination,morphological characteristics,phylogenetic analysis of ITS,TEFACT and TUB sequences and identification of the biological characteristics of canker disease of Malus sieversii. The results showed that a total of six pathogens were identified:Cytospora ambiensC. hoffmanniiC. maliC. pruinopsisC. leucostoma and C. parasitica,all belonging to the genus Cytospora. The biological characteristics results indicated that the optimal culture conditions for mycelial growth of the six strains were on PDA medium,at 25-30 ℃,and pH 6-8. C. pruinopsis utilized sucrose as the optimal carbon source,while glucose was the optimal carbon source for the other strains. The optimal light conditions for the mycelial growth of different Cytospora species were determined as follows:C. ambiens and C. mali exhibited the best growth under full light;C. pruinopsis grew optimally under a 12-hour light-dark cycle;C. parasitica thrived in complete darkness;C. leucostoma showed the most favorable growth under both full light and a 12-hour light-dark cycle;and C. hoffmannii could grow well under all tested light conditions. In this study,C. parasitica was identified as the principal pathogenic fungus causing canker disease in Malus sieversii,with the highest isolation frequency of 63.87%;C. ambiens and C. hoffmannii were newly identified pathogens on Malus sieversii.
