Erysiphe quercicola, a powdery mildew fungus on Khasi mandarin in North East India

摘要

Powdery mildew on Khasi mandarin (Citrus reticulata) is considered as one of the factors responsible for citrus decline in this region. Molecular identification was done for powdery mildew pathogen (anamorph) on Citrus reticulata based on nrDNA ITS region (ITS 1-5.8s and ITS2). Maximum likelihood analysis clustered the sequences from this study with Erysiphe quercicola.
