Title: Pathogens Caused Chinese Chestnut Seed Rot during Storage and Their Infection Process
Abstract: Twenty-two strains of pathogenic fungi were isolated from the decayed and non-symptom seeds of Chinese chestnut in Huairou,Beijing,China.Sixteen strains were identified and fell into 11 genera,i.e.Aureobasidium sp.,Alternaria sp.,Phoma sp.,Penicillium sp.,Trichothecium sp.,Fusicoccum sp.,Rhizoctonia sp.,Mucor sp.,Colletotrichum sp.,Botrytis sp.and Fusarium sp..Six strains were not identified yet.Among the pathogens,Alternaria sp.,Trichothecium sp.,Fusicoccum sp.and Fusarium sp.had higher isolating rate than others.The inoculation tests showed that Alternaria sp.,Fusarium sp.and Fusicoccum sp.could only infect the injured seeds of Chinese chestnut,Trichothecium sp. could infect both injured and non-injured seeds of chestnut.
