Abstract: | In March 2006, stored fruits of the medium-to-late-ripening citrus variety Shiranuhi (Citrus unshiu × C. sinensis] × C. reticulata) were found to have a disease similar to blue mold. The fungus causing this disease differed distinctly from the well-known,
blue mold agent, Penicillium italicum, because it formed whisker-like coremia measuring 1–8 mm. On the basis of the morphological characteristics and the phylogenetic
analysis based on the nucleotide sequence of the β-tubulin gene, the fungus was identified as P. ulaiense. This is the first report of citrus whisker mold caused by P. ulaiense in Japan. |
