Abstract

<p>A severe postharvest rot of acerola (Barbados cherry) fruits (cv. Kanmikei) was found in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan in 2017. A fungus frequently isolated from the diseased fruits was identified as Gilbertella persicaria based on morphological, cultural characteristics and sequence similarity of rDNA-ITS regions. Symptoms were reproduced on acerola fruits after inoculation with the isolates, which were then reisolated. This is the first report of fruit rot of acerola caused by G. persicaria in Japan, and we propose the name “migusare-byo” in Japanese.</p>
