Abstract

Pueraria phaseoloides (tropical kudzu) is a plant native from Southeast Asia, which is widely used in pastures. In 2014 individual plants with leaf spots were found in Viçosa (State of Minas Gerais, Brazil). Morphology of the causal fungus was typical of Corynespora cassiicola. ITS sequence analysis indicated a high homology with other sequences available for this species in GenBank. This is the first record of this host-pathogen relationship worldwide.
