This study aims to isolate and identify the fungal pathogen responsible for gummosis disease affecting Thanh Tra pomelo in Vietnam. Through molecular identification utilizing primer pairs ITS5 and ITS4, the analysis pinpointed Lasiodiplodia theobromae as the specific fungal pathogen. Notably, the fungal colonies exhibited vigorous growth on potato dextrose agar. Initially, these colonies appeared whitish-grey, transforming into a black-grey hue within 5-7 days at a temperature of 30℃. According to previous reports, Phytophthora spp. was the most common pathogenic genus causing gummosis on Thanh Tra pomelo in Vietnam. To our knowledge, this is the first report on L. theobromae causing gummosis on Thanh Tra pomelo in Vietnam.

2015년에 태안에서 장미의 가지 썩음 증상과 검은 포자체가 붙어 있는 새로운 증상이 관찰되었다. 이 증상의 원인을 찾기 위해 장미 가지의 썩음 증상에서 균사체를 분리하였다. 분리 균주의 병원성을 검정하였더니 건전한 장미 가지가 썩었으며 처음 발견했던 병징과 일치하였다. 형태학적 특성을 조사하고 분자생물학적 분석을 위하여 병원균을 $25^{\circ}C$에 7일간 배양하였다. 병원균의 균사 생장은 빠르며 균총의 색깔은 흰색에서 잿빛으로 변했다. 광학현미경으로 관찰한 분생포자는 회갈색의 타원모양에 격막이 하나 있으며 크기는 $20-31{\times}11-17{\mu}m$이다. 병원균의 ITS 영역, TEF와 TUB 유전자의 염기서열을 결합하여 근연종과 유연관계를 분석한 결과 Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae로 동정되었다. 이에 따라 장미에서 L. pseudotheobromae이 발생시키는 가지 썩음 증상을 장미 가지썩음병으로 명명하여 보고하고자 한다.

Powdery mildews on over 40 plants in Bangalore were screened during July-December of 2003~2008. Isolates from mycoparasitised Oidium caesalpiniacearum of Bauhinia purpurea comprised Lasiodiplodia theobromae, in addition to Ampelomyces quisqualis. Koch's postulates were satisfied to establish the mycoparasitism of L. theobromae. This is the first report that L. theobromae acts as a mycoparasite of a powdery mildew.

Dieback in strawberry (Seolhyang cultivar) was first observed during the nursery season (June to September) in the Nonsan area of Korea in the years 2012 and 2013. Initial disease symptoms included dieback on runners, as well as black rot on roots, followed by wilting and eventually blackened, necrotic discoloration in the crowns of daughter plants. A fungus isolated from the diseased roots, runners, and crowns is close to Lasiodiplodia theobromae based on morphological characteristics. Analysis of a combined dataset assembled from sequences of the internal transcribed spacer and translation elongation factor 1- alpha genes grouped nine fungal isolates with the type strain of L. theobromae. The isolates showed strong pathogenicity on strawberry cultivars Kumhyang, Seolhyang, and Akihimae, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Based on these results, the pathogen responsible for dieback on strawberry plants in Korea was identified as L. theobromae.

고구마 검은 썩음병균(L. theobromae)의 PSA배양물의 acetone추출물을 고구마 괴근에 처리하면 갈변이 유도된다. 공시균의 배양물로부터 갈변유도 활성물질을 분리 정제하여 화학구조를 결정하고 각각 4-hydroxymellein과 mellein으로 동정하였다. 화학합성에 의하여 천연 mellein의 상대구조는 (R)-(-)-mellein임을 입증하였다. 각 화합물은 $50{\sim}100{\mu}g$ 고구마에 접종하였을때 농도 의존적으로 갈변을 유도하였다. 또한 이들 화합물들이 고구마의 phytoalexin으로 알려져 있는 ipomeamarone의 생합성을 유도하는 elicitor로써 작용하고 있음을 증명하였다.

Black root rot (BRR) caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae is an alarming disease of mulberry that causes tremendous economic losses to sericulture farmers in India and China. Successful control of this disease can be attained by screening germplasm and identifying resistant sources. Seventy four diseased root samples were collected from farmer's fields belonging to four major mulberry growing states of South India. Based on morpho-cultural and scanning electron microscopy studies, 57 fungal isolates were characterized and identified as L. theobromae. Phylogenetic analysis of concatenated internal transcribed spacer and β-tubulin sequences revealed variation of the representative 20 isolates of L. theobromae. Following the root dip method of inoculation, pathogenicity studies on susceptible mulberry genotypes (Victory-1 and Thailand male) recognized the virulent isolate MRR-142. Accordingly, MRR-142 isolate was used to evaluate resistance on a set of 45 diverse mulberry accessions. In the repeated experiments, the mulberry accession ME-0168 which is an Indonesian origin belonging to Morus latifolia was found to be highly resistant consistently against BRR. Eight accessions (G2, ME-0006, ME-0011, ME-0093, MI-0006, MI-0291, MI-0489, and MI-0501) were found to be resistant. These promising resistant resources may be exploited in mulberry breeding for developing BRR resistant varieties and to develop mapping populations which successively helps in the identification of molecular markers associated with BRR.

Coleus forskohlii Briq, of the family Lamiaceae yields a valuable secondary metabolity known as forskolin which is a labdane diterpenoid.. Coleus forskohlii is the only known source of this compound. Forskolin is used in medicine for the treatment of glaucoma, congestive cardiomyopathy and asthma. Morphogenic callus was induced from young leaves on MS medium augmented with NAA and BA. These calli, when subcultured on MS with KN alone gave rise to shoots. The regenerated shoot developed good root system on MS medium fortified with NAA. The fully grown plantlets were transferred to soil for acclimatization. Coleus plant is mainly infected by a fungi Lasiodiplodia theobromae which causes root rot disease. The fungal culture filterate (ECE) of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, has been used in regeneration media to find the MIC and further to select resistant plants to the pathogen. In the present study 40% ECF in the medium showed maximum inhibition and is there fore considered as the MIC level of Coleus forshohlii. This data could prove to be useful for the future for selecting a resistant C.forskohlii plant against the root disease caused by L. theobromae.

Phorbol ester extraction was carried out from Jatropha curcas seed cake, a by-product from the biodiesel fuel industry. Four repeated extractions from 5 g of J. curcas seed cake using 15 ml of 90% (v/v) ethanol and a shaking speed of 150 rpm gave the highest yield of phorbol esters. The ethanolic extract of J. curcas seed cake showed antifungal activities against important fungal phytopathogens: Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium aphanidermatum, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium semitectum, Colletotrichum capsid, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The extract contained phorbol esters mainly responsible for antifungal activities. The extract could therefore be used as an antifungal agent for agricultural applications.
