Black chokeberry, Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott, is commonly used as a source of jam and jelly in Korea and worldwide. A fungal isolate EML-CCB6 was isolated from the decaying fruit of black chokeberry. Based on the morphological characteristics and rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis, the isolate was identified as Fusarium tricinctum (Corda) Sacc. This is the first report of post-harvest fruit rot of black chokeberry caused by F. tricinctum in Korea.
