由Botrytis squamosa引起之韭菜白斑病初報

2020年2月於花蓮縣吉安鄉韭菜田區發生大量葉部病害，病徵呈現紡錘型之白色病斑，經由病徵分離出病原菌，且觀察到新鮮葉片可誘導菌株產孢，依形態學與分子生物學特徵，最後再以離葉接種方式完成病原性檢測，確認 Botrytis squamosa為造成韭菜白斑病病原，為臺灣首度報告之作物病害。

In February 2020, a serious leaf disease occurred in the Chinese chive field in Ji'an Township, Hualien County. The symptoms showed spindle-shaped white lesions. The pathogen was isolated from the symptoms, and the pathogen sporulated through the fresh leaf. Its morphology and molecular characteristics and the pathogenicity test confirmed that Botrytis squamosa caused white spot disease of Chinese chive, and it was the first crop disease caused by B. squamosa in Taiwan.
