Abstract
Fruit rot of pomegranate (Punica granatum) caused by Coniella granati were observed in several farmer's fields in Gwangdo-myon, Tongyeong City, Gyeongnam Province, Korea. The symptoms occurred on fruit with rotting then eventually dropping and mummification. The colony color of causal fungus was whitish on potato dextrose agar. Conidia were single celled, pale brown or olive in color at maturity, straight or slightly curved fusiform in shape, and were 10.3~17.4$\times$2.8~4.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Conidiogenous cell were hyaline, branched only at the base aseptate, elongate, phialidic, enteroblastic and 12.4~1.4$\times$2.8~3.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Pycnidia were black in color and globose in shape and 124.6~228.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size. Optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $25^{\circ}C$. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenecity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Coniella granati. This is the first report on the fruit rot of pomegranate caused by Coniella granati in Korea.
