Study on Pathogenesis of Cytospora pyri in Korla Fragrant Pear Trees (Pyrus sinkiangensis)

Researchers identified Cytospora pyri as the fungus causing a serious disease in Korla fragrant pear trees in China. The fungus can only infect trees through wounds and spreads through the tree’s tissues over several weeks. Understanding how the fungus breaks down plant cell walls using enzymes could help develop better strategies to prevent the disease and protect pear orchards.

Isolation, Identification, and In Vitro Fungicide Screening of the Pathogen Associated with Pear Dry Blight

Pear dry blight is a serious fungal disease affecting pear orchards in China. Researchers identified the fungus Diaporthe fukushii as the cause and tested various fungicides to find the most effective treatments. The study found that thiophanate-methyl and difenoconazole mixed with propiconazole work best, while some other fungicides are less effective. The research provides farmers with evidence-based strategies to manage this devastating disease.

Study on Pathogenesis of Cytospora pyri in Korla Fragrant Pear Trees (Pyrus sinkiangensis)

Researchers identified Cytospora pyri as the fungus causing a serious canker disease in Korla fragrant pear trees grown in Xinjiang, China. The fungus cannot directly infect healthy bark but requires wounds to enter trees, then spreads rapidly through tissues using powerful cell-degrading enzymes. Understanding these infection mechanisms can help farmers prevent the disease by protecting trees from injuries and maintaining tree health.
