Cercosporoid fungi on wild banana (Musa itinerans) and cultivated Chinese mesona (Platostoma palustre = Mesona chinensis) were investigated.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The study was conducted in northern Taiwan; the datasets covers Taoyuan City and Taipei CitySampling
Living plant leaves were collected in the field, taken to the lab and investigated when still being fresh within a few days.Quality Control
Specimens were investigated with a dissecting microscope for detecting conidiophores and conidia. Conidia were transferred to agar media for cultivation. Cultures were used for DNA isolation and molecular characterization. DNA sequences were deposited at GenBank. In some cases living strains were deposited at BCRC. Leaves and/or cultures were used for microscopical morphological characterization and dried and deposited at TNM as voucher specimens.Method steps
- Field collection, light microscopy, in some cases scanning electron microscopy, cultivation, DNA isolation, PCR, sequencing, sequence analyses
