Occurrence of Phytopythium vexans Causing Stem Rot on Anthurium andraeanum in Korea = Occurrence of Phytopythium vexans Causing Stem Rot on Anthurium andraeanum in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In 2017, wilting symptom was observed on seedlings of Anthurium andraeranum in Youngin, Korea. Brownish lesions with water soaking were developed on the stems and roots of the infected plants. The stems and leaves wilted and finally died. One fungal isolate was obtained in pure culture. Morphological features and nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer rDNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit II mt DNA were analyzed. The results of this study indicated that the fungus is identified as Phytopythium vexans. Pathogenicity tests showed the isolate was pathogenic to the seedlings of A. andraeanum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. vexans causing stem rot on A. andraeanum in Korea.
