Ten days after inoculation, the lesions expanded into necrotic bands. The necrotic symptoms on needles inoculated with strains AH 1-1, AH 1-2, AH 1-3, AH 1-4, and AH 1-5 were pronounced, and the lesions had almost spread throughout the needles, forming necrotic bands with an incidence rate of 100 %. The spots on needles inoculated with strains DB 1-1, DB 1-2, DB 1-3, DB 1-4, and DB 1-5 turned reddish brown and developed into necrotic bands, also with an incidence rate of 100 %. No symptoms developed on the control needles. Pestalotiopsis liuzhouensis and P. kendrickii were successfully re-isolated from 100 % of the inoculated plants, as identified by morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of ITS, thereby fulfilling Koch’s postulates.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1CD55EBD75E0508587F1D513E8C29B50	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
