  1. Leaf blight of rice-paper plant, Tetrapanax papyrifer, caused by Neofusicoccum parvum: a potential source of stem rot diseases of mango and grape

    • Journal of General Plant Pathology

    • Rice-paper plant, Tetrapanax papyrifer is a woody plant native to Taiwan and widely distributed in western Japan. Due to its low commercial value, little is known about its interactions with microorganisms.
