A previously undocumented and economically significant fruit rot disease has emerged on apple during cold storage in China. Xiaofei Liang et al. identified #Neocyphella psychrotropha sp. nov. as the causal agent—representing a new family in Agaricales: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-08-25-1642-RE
Fig. 3. Pathogenicity assessment of Neocyphella psychrotropha (isolate LC01) on ‘Fuji’ apple. A, Wound-inoculated fruit at 30 days postinoculation (dpi) at 20°C (scale bar = 1 cm). B, Unwounded inoculation at 30 dpi (20°C), with an infection rate of approximately 10%. C, Wound-inoculated fruit stored after 6 months at −1°C. D, Leaf inoculation treatments: M-U (mock-unwounded), M-W (mock-wounded), I-U (inoculation-unwounded), and I-W (inoculation-wounded), imaged at 7 dpi/20°C.
