Voucher specimens were deposited in the Korea University Herbarium (KUS-F27314, F27322, F27839, F27930, and F27951). Symptoms began as circular to irregular white patches with or without purplish-brown discoloration of the lesion, which subsequently showed abundant hyphal growth on both sides of the leaves and stems, causing premature senescence. Appressoria on the mycelium were nipple-shaped. Conidiophores were arising laterally from hyphal mother cells, 120 to 250 × 10 to 12 μm, and produced 2 to 4 immature conidia in chains with a sinuate outline. Foot-cells of conidiophores were 42 to 85 μm long and characterized by the...
