Abstract
In July 2003, a destructive stem rot occurred sporadically in an exhibition farm on Aster glehni of Hamyanggun, Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Korea. The typical symptoms of the disease were water-soaking, stem rot, wilt or blight. The infected plants were mostly died. White mycelial mats were spread over lesions and sclerotia were formed on stems and near soil line. The sclerotia were globoid or irregular in shape, 1~3 mm in size, and white to brown in color. The optimum temperature for fungal growth was about 30oC. Clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus grown on potato dextrose agar, and hyphal diameter was 3~8 ${\mu}m$. On the basis of mycological characteristics and test of pathogenicity to host plants, the fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii. This is the first report on the stem rot of Aster glehni caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.
