Abstract
Dry rot causes significant losses of konjac during storage in Hubei Province, China. In this study, the pathogens were obtained from konjac and then tested its pathogenicity through tissue isolation. The pathogens were identified using morphological characteristics and translation elongation factor-1 alpha sequences analysis. Four Fusarium species, namely F. meridionale, F. incarnatum, F. sambucinum, and F. solani, were obtained.
