In July 2015, diseased leaves of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) were observed in Danyang and Gochang, Korea. The symptoms appeared as circular or irregular brown leaf spots, from which Alternaria tenuissima was isolated. The isolates were cultured on potato dextrose agar, and their morphological characteristics were observed under a light microscope. The colonies were whitish to ash colored. The pathogenicity test on healthy black chokeberry leaves produced circular brown spots, in line with the original symptoms. Molecular analyses of the ITS, GPD, RPB2, and TEF genes were conducted to confirm the identity of the pathogen. The phylogeny of the multi-gene sequences indicated that the causal agent was A. tenuissima. This study is the first report of A. tenuissima leaf spot on black chokeberry (A. melanocarpa).

2014년 6월 초 충남 예산과 금산의 농가포장에서 재배 중인 아로니아에서 점무늬낙엽병으로 의심되는 증상이 관찰되었다. 초기에는 잎에 갈색의 작은 점무늬가 생기고 이것이 확대되면서 둥근 겹무늬를 형성하고, 암갈색으로 변하였다. 그리고 병세가 심해지면 잎 전체에 병반이 확대되면서 떨어지는 증상이 관찰되었다. 병든 아로니아 잎에서 분리한 병원균은 PDA에 배양하였을 때 균체는 올리브 회색과 진한 회색으로 다양한 색을 나타내었다. 포장에서 감염된 잎과 PDA에서 분리한 분생포자의 크기는 각각 $19-50{\times}5-9{\mu}m$, $20-59{\times}8-13{\mu}m$이고, 길거나 짧은 부리를 가지며, 분생자경의 끝에 1-3개의 분생포자가 형성되었으며, 3-8개의 횡경막을 보이고 종경막은 없거나 1-3번째 횡경막 내에 1개 형성되었다. 병원성 검정 결과, 접종 7일 후 아로니아와 사과 모두에서 자연발생한 병징과 동일하게 관찰되었다. 이상 병원균의 형태적 특성, 병원성 검정과 ITS rDNA 염기서열 비교분석 결과를 토대로 아로니아에서 분리한 병원균은 A. mali로 동정하였고, 이 병을 아로니아 점무늬낙엽병으로 명명하였다.

Leaf spot disease on black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) was observed at several locations in Korea during 2014-2015. Leaf spots were distinct, scattered over the leaf surface and along the leaf border, subcircular to irregular and brown surrounded by a distinct dark color, and were expanded and coalesced into irregularly shaped lesions. Severely infected leaves became dry and fell off eventually. The causative agent was identified as Pseudocercospora pyricola. Morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of multiple genes, including internal transcribed spacer, translation elongation factor 1-alpha, actin, and the large subunit ribosomal DNA were conducted. The pathogenicity test was conducted twice yielding similar results, fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report on P. pyricola infection of A. melanocarpa globally.
