Three New Records of Pathogens Causing Stem Blight on <i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i> in China.

ABSTRACT: Stem blight is a significant disease affecting blueberries worldwide, caused by various pathogens. This study investigated stem blight disease in Ji'an, Jilin Province, China. Fungi isolated from diseased stems were identified as Colletotrichum temperatum, Curvularia austriaca, and Diaporthe unshiuensis based on morphological characters and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh), chitin synthase (chs), actin (act), β-tubulin (tub2), the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), calmodulin (cal), and histone 3 (his3) regions. Pathogenicity test was conducted on detached green blueberry shoots, all shoots inoculated by myc
