Identification and Pathogenicity of Fungal Species Associated with Branch Canker and Shoot Blight on Persimmons (Diospyros kaki) in California

Persimmon is a relatively new crop to California agriculture. Asian persimmons (Diospyros kaki) are the dominant species commercially cultivated in the United States, primarily grown in California, covering approximately 1,153 ha of bearing trees. In the growing seasons of 2020 and 2021, unusual sho...

520 |a Persimmon is a relatively new crop to California agriculture. Asian persimmons (Diospyros kaki) are the dominant species commercially cultivated in the United States, primarily grown in California, covering approximately 1,153 ha of bearing trees. In the growing seasons of 2020 and 2021, unusual shoot blight and branch cankers were observed in several persimmon orchards in San Joaquin and Solano counties in California. The most prevalent symptoms were well-defined black discoloration in the cambium and streaking in the vascular tissues of green shoots. On woody branches and old pruning wounds, symptoms manifested as black wedge-shaped cankers. Isolations from affected tissues revealed the occurrence of Diaporthe species, including D. chamaeropis, D. foeniculina, and an undescribed Diaporthe sp. as the most frequent isolated pathogens, followed by Eutypella citricola and Phaeoacremonium iranianum. The isolates were identified through multilocus phylogenetic analyses using nucleotide sequences of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer, β-tubulin, and translation elongation factor 1-alpha genes. To fulfill Koch's postulates, mycelium plugs of the various fungal species identified were inserted in 2-year-old branches of mature persimmon trees after making wounds using a corkborer in field conditions. Results showed that Diaporthe spp., E. citricola, and P. iranianum are the main causal agents of branch canker and shoot dieback of persimmon trees in California, with Diaporthe spp. being the most frequently isolated pathogen
