Abstract

Alocasia longiloba is a popular ornamental plant in China. Pests and diseases associated with A. longiloba reduce the ornamental values of this plant. From 2016 to 2021, a stem rot has been observed on A. longiloba in Guangdong Province, China. Once the disease becomes severe plants wilted and died. A fungus was isolated from the diseased stem and identified as Fusarium elaeidis by both morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), translation elongation factor-1α (tef1) gene, and beta-tubulin (tub2) gene. The pathogenicity test showed the fungus was able to produce typical symptoms on A. longiloba as those in the field. From inoculated plants pathogen was reisolated to confirm Koch?s postulates. This is the first report of Fusarium elaeidis causing stem rot on A. longiloba. These results will provide and baseline to identify and control diseases associated with A. longiloba.
