Abstract

The multi-use tree Canthium dicoccum (Rubiaceae) growing in shrub forests of Mysore, Mandya and Chamarajanagar (India) was severely affected by a leaf blight disease. The ascomycete Pestalotiopsis mangiferae was consistently isolated from symptomatic leaves and identified by micromorphology and ITS rDNA sequencing analysis. Pathogenicity test was performed and Koch's postulates were fulfilled. This is the first report of P. mangiferae causing leaf blight of C. dicoccum in India.
