Reserch on the pathogen causing root rot on Phyllanthus emblica from the perspectives of identification, bionomics, fungicide sensitivity assay, and transcriptome analysis under different pH stress

Root rot disease in Phyllanthus emblica negatively affects fruit growth and yield, leading to economic losses in Yunnan, Guangxi, and other regions of China. This study identified Diaporthe eres as the causal pathogen and investigated its biological characteristics. The mycelial growth rate method was used for the in vitro toxicity of six fungicides against Diaporthe eres.
