First report of Macrophomina phaseolina causing charcoal rot on common sage (Salvia officinalis) in Turkey. Journal of Plant Pathology, 103, 1371-1371.1125-46532239-7264http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s42161-021-00935-whttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12491/11120Common sage (Salvia ofcinalis L.) is a perennial herb or sub-shrub native to the eastern Mediterranean. In July 2020, symptoms of chlorosis, wilting, and root rot appeared in 25% of two-year-old S. ofcinalis cv. Elif plants in two felds (N 36°53'42.457'', E 38°55'34.777''; N 36°53'27.236'', E 38°55'38.618'') in Şanlıurfa, Turkey. Abundant black microsclerotia were observed on cortex and in vascular tissues of the symptomatic roots of plants sampled. Fungal colonies with similar cultural characteristics were consistently isolated from fragments of infected tissues on potato dextrose agar after superfcially disinfection and incubation for 5 days in the dark at 26 °C. Mp-So01 and Mp-So02 isolates representing the two felds were identifed as Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSalvia OfficinalisMacrophomina PhaseolinaCharcoal RotEditorial10.1007/s42161-021-00935-w1034137113712-s2.0-85114513969Q2WOS:000692945900001Q2
