First record of Nematospora coryli in Australia and its association with dry rot of Citrus.

摘要

N. coryli was isolated from Citrus and identified for the first time in Australia. This insect-transmitted yeast was associated with dry rot in cultivated and native Citrus fruits. Although N. coryli is known as a serious seed pathogen of many tropical and sub-tropical plants, evidence is presented that it has been present and undetected in Queensland, Australia for at least 90 years.
