Abstract
Mycosphaerella leaf disease (MLD), also called Teratosphaeria leaf disease (TLD) are amongst the most significant foliar diseases on eucalypts, being Teratosphaeria nubilosa and T. destructans the most devastating species affecting eucalypts plantations worldwide. Recently, T. pseudoeucalypti has been described in Australia in 2010 severely affecting Eucalyptus hybrids (1). In Argentina, while surveying clonal E. grandis x E. camaldulensis hybrids trials, symptoms resembling those described for T. pseudoeucalypti were observed in Entre Ríos province in September 2013. The symptoms observed in young leaves were large yellow chlorotic spot and deformed leaves, whereas in older leaves were individual pale brown necrotic spot. Symptomatic leaves were collected and put them in moist chambers to induce fructification and sporulation. A total of 30 conidia were measured in length and width. Pure cultures were obtained according with Andjic et al. (2). The DNA extraction from three pure isolates (ERI5, ERI6 and ERI12) was performed using a CTAB protocol (3). Three genomic regions ITS, EF-1? and ?-tubulin were amplified by using specific primers ITS-3 and ITS-4, EF1-728F and EF1-986R, Bt2a and Bt2b, respectively.
