At the early of 2017, black spots-like symptoms were observed on plumcot fruits and leaves at cultivation areas in Naju (34.965595, 126.665853) province. Further investigation shows that approximately 60% of the plumcot leaves in the affected orchard were infected, which caused 40% total production loss. At the early stage of infection, disease symptoms appear as small, angular and water-soaked spots and develop into circular brown spots at the later stages of infection. As the disease progresses, the leaf tissues around the spots became yellow and the lesions enlarged. When the adjacent lesions merged and the necrotic tissues fall off, shot-hole symptoms appear on the leaves. To identify the causal agent of this disease, infected leaf tissues were excised and surface-sterilized with 1% NaOCl for 30 secs prior to rinsing with sterile water, thrice . Tissill limited. Therefore, the identification of Xap as a causal agent to the black spot disease is critical for the development of disease management strategies and to identify appropriate agrochemicals to control the occurrence of this disease in the field. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Xap as a causal agent to the shot-hole disease on the plumcot in Korea.Apple (Malus domestica) and pear (Pyrus communis) are important fruit crops in the Netherlands, with total production of 269,000 tons and 402,000 tons in 2018, respectively. In 2018 and 2019 postharvest fruit rots were observed on the apple variety Elstar (one observation) and pear varieties Conference and Doyenné du Comice (multiple observations). The symptoms were found after storage in controlled atmosphere storage facilities on fruits from different orchards across the Netherlands. Disease incidences up to 50% of the stored fruit w
