“…Toxins are products of microbial pathogens that can be produced both in affected tissues and in culture media (Bach et al 2005). Toxins can act in different sites at the cellular level, changing the permeability and/or the potential of membranes, impairing plant physiology (Bach & Kimati 1999).…”

“…Toxins can act in different sites at the cellular level, changing the permeability and/or the potential of membranes, impairing plant physiology (Bach & Kimati 1999). Bach et al (2005) demonstrated that the isolated application of toxins produced by Exserohilum turcicum (which causes northern corn leaf blight) caused necrosis in corn leaves. Reino et al (2004) showed that there is a correlation between the production of toxins in vitro and the degree of virulence for eleven strains of Botrytis cinerea.…”

Due to the increase in pecan nuts demand, plantation areas are expanding around the world and more frequent epidemics caused by fungal pathogens may occur in orchards and nurseries. Ragnhildiana diffusa is a pathogenic fungus reported to cause brown leaf spots on pecans in numerous countries. The scarcity of comprehensive information in symptoms on the host and morphology of the fungus lead this disease to be initially incorrectly identified in Brazil. In this study, we employed different approaches to characterize the pathogen morphology and pathogenicity and to molecularly identify the organism causing brown leaf spots in southern Brazil. A phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the large subunit (LSU) gene sequences confirmed R. diffusa as the causal pathogen of the disease. Inoculation tests on healthy leaflets confirmed pathogenicity isolates, although some variation in their virulence was observed. Variation in the morphology of the asexual stage was observed among and within isolates. This study brought unprecedented morphological, genetic and pathogenic information that aids elucidating the disease. The accurate and prompt identification of the disease may assist in controlling further spread of the pathogen into orchards and nurseries still free of the disease in South America.
