Abstract
Leaf mold caused by the fungus Passalora fulva has been a serious disease in greenhouse tomatoes in Turkey. This study was conducted to determine races of tomato leaf mold that caused by the P. fulva. Single-spore cultures of twenty-two isolates were obtained from infected samples that are collected from different greenhouses which product tomato in Fethiye and Ortaca. According to the morphological characters, all of the 22 isolates were identified as P. fulva. All isolates of P. fulva were highly pathogenic to the susceptible tomato cultivars (Moneymaker (MM)-Cf-0). These isolates were tested for determination of races of P. fulva on a set of tomato differentials (MM-Cf-0, MM-Cf-2, MM-Cf-4, MM-Cf-5, MM-Cf-9) with different Cf resistance genes. To our knowledge, according to the result of this study, physiological races of this pathogen were identified as race 2.5 for the first time in Ortaca and Fethiye districts of Mugla province.
