 ARS | Publication request: A New Species of Phomopsis on Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea (Lingonberry) in Oregon
Interpretive Summary: Lingonberry is an edible fruit that has long been consumed in Scandinavian countries and produced by a plant native to the northernmost parts of the northern hemisphere.
As a result of this research it will be possible for plant pathologists to accurately characterize the fungi that cause diseases of lingonberry and thus to develop better control measures for these diseases.
Both morphological and molecular data suggest that the fungus belongs in Diaporthe/Phomopsis but is distinct from P. vaccinii, cause of a dieback and fruit rot of blueberry and cranberry.
