Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jph12320-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>In 2013, bitter rot of grape was observed in Changbei Vineyard located in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, China. <italic>Greeneria</italic> species was consistently isolated from the diseased grape berries (<italic>Vitis labruscana</italic> cv. Kyoho) at approximately 91% of isolation rate in three independent experiments. The species was identified as <italic>Greeneria uvicola</italic> based on the morphological characteristics, cultural appearance and sequence analysis. Koch's postulates were fulfilled through pathogenicity tests on detached healthy Kyoho grape berries. To our knowledge, this is the first report of <italic>G. uvicola</italic> causing bitter rot of grape in China.</p> </abstract>
