First Report of Colletotrichum siamense and Description of Lasiodiplodia adeniicola sp. nov. Causing Leaf Spot on Desert Rose in Brazil

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 173, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT In July 2021, desert rose plants were consistently observed with symptoms of brown spots on the leaves, which coalesced and promoted leaf fall. The causal agent of the disease was unknown. This study aimed to identify the pathogen responsible for the symptoms through morphological and molecular characterisation, as well as pathogenicity tests.
