Final diagnosis


Alternaria alternata

A concave lesion has settled on this mature fruit. The tissues gradually collapse and split, while the pericarp locally takes on a black tint. <i><b>Alternaria alternata</b></i> (syn. <i>Alternaria tenuis</i>, alternariose)
Ultimately, the mycelium and numerous <i> <b> Alternaria alternata </b> </i> (syn. <i> Alternaria tenuis </i>) fruiting bodies colonize the damaged surface of the fruit.<b>Alternariose</b>
This rotting fruit is almost completely collapsed and locally covered with black mold. <i><b>Alternaria alternata</b></i> (syn <i>Alternaria tenuis</i>, alternariose)
The rot is now firmly in place; the tissues shrivel over a large area and fruiting bodies appear here and there. <i><b>Alternaria alternata</b></i> (syn <i>Alternaria tenuis</i>, alternariose)
<b> <i> Alternaria alternata </i> </b> spores are produced in long chains at the end of conidiophores (longicatenatae). The conidia are brownish, multicellular and have a relatively short appendage (black mold rot).
