Abstract excerpt
Red rust disease, caused by the algal pathogen Cephaleuros spp., poses an increasingly significant threat to oolong tea (Camellia sinensis) cultivation. Currently, however, effective management is hindered by a lack of species-specific diagnostic methods and limited analysis of host-response physiological changes. In this study, the region-wide survey was conducted, and species-specific molecular diagnostics,...
