Abstract Black spot disease, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria
tenuissima (Fr.) Wiltsh (A. tenuissima), is considered a highly destructive disease
of Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.). A set of 17 accessions
of commercial chrysanthemum cultivars were evaluated for resistance to A.
tenuissima by seedling artificial inoculation. It was found that the reaction of
the accessions to artificial inoculation ranged from resistant to highly susceptible.
Five varieties of chrysanthemum (‘Zhongshan Taogui’, ‘Jinba’, ‘Zhongshan Jinguan’, ‘Jinling Wanhuang’ and ‘Jinling Yangguang’) were resistant; two varieties
of chrysanthemum (‘Zhongshan Xinggui’ and ‘Zhongshan Jinkui’) were moderately resistant; and others were susceptible to various degrees, four More >
