Summary:Pear is an important fruit crop in the world.An uncharacterized disease has been observed on pear fruits during cold storage in Suning,Shenzhou,Xinji and other locations in Hebei Province,China.The incidence rate of the disease has reached 10％,and sometimes up to 20％.A particular fungus was consistently isolated from the infected pear fruit and cultured.Based on its morphology,molecular characteristics,pathogenicity and ITS sequence,the fungus was identified as Athelia bombacina.To our knowledge,this is the first report of Athelia bombacina causing postharvest fruit rot on pear.
