Morphological and molecular identification of <i>Schizophyllum commune</i> causing storage bulb rot disease of Lanzhou edible lily in China and its biological characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Lily bulb rot disease has harmed edible lily in recent years, resulting in yield losses in China. As a results, both morphological and molecular techniques must be used to confirm the etiology of storage bulb rot disease on lily bulbs. Lily bulbs with indications of rot symptoms during storage were gathered in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China. A strain was isolated and its morphologically characterized as a Schizophyllum commune specie. Pathogenicity tests further confirmed that the strain caused apparent S. commune symptoms on lily bulbs which were consistent with those seen in the field. The pathogenicity of S. commune to lily bulb was 100%, and morphological identification showed that the mycelia of the pathogen were white and villous, with septate, branched, and acic
