Leaf blight of Camellia oleifera is one of the major diseases in Camellia producing areas of China. The pathogen infects leaves of the host plants and causes leaves to drop, resulting in early defoliation and new treetops death and eventually yield reduction. The pathogen of leaf blight was isolated from the infected leaves of C. oleifera (NO.CSUFT070160B). The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA from pathogen was sequenced and comprises 516 bp. By comparing them with the sequences in the Gene Bank, we found th...
