- Abstract
Sansevieria trifasciata showing symptoms of leaf blight were observed in several states of Malaysia. Based on morphology and DNA sequences of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region, nine isolates of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum were identified. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the isolates of N. dimidiatum from S. trifasciata with the epitype of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (CBS499.66) from mango. Pathogenicity test showed that all isolates of N. dimidiatum caused leaf blight on S. trifasciata and fulfilled Koch's postulates.
