【 摘 要 】

Fruit rot infected with blue mold was found on muskmelon growing in a polytunnel located at Songkhla province southern Thailand in 2018. The blue mold fungus isolated from the infected fruit was identified as Penicillium oxalicum based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the large subunit (LSU) regions of ribosomal DNA, and the calmodulin (CaM) gene region. Pathogenicity tests showed that P. oxalicum isolate was pathogenic to healthy muskmelon and Koch’s postulates were satisfied by re-isolating the pathogen. This is a first report of muskmelon fruit rot caused by P. oxalicum in Thailand.
