Name evolution for Jiaobai diseases and their pathogens
Jiaobai is one of the unique aquatic vegetables in China,which plays an important role in enriching vegetable basket and increasing grower income.With the large-scale artificial cultivation,Jiaobai diseases increasingly become a serious problem affecting the development of the Jiaobai industry.However,it is a prevailing problem for application of the incorrect names of diseases and their pathogens in production,influencing the disease recognition and control.This is mainly because different researchers have different emphasis on disease understanding,leading to different names in the same disease in different countries or regions.While with the deepening of people's understanding against pathogens,the taxonomic status of pathogens change constantly,which makes the same pathogen to produce different names in the taxonomic history.Application of the correct names of the Jiaobai diseases and their pathogens can provide information on the characteristics of diseases and biological properties of their pathogens,especially important to guide diseases recognition and control.In this paper,the Jiaobai diseases and their pathogens were introduced systematically.Especially,reasons for name evolution of these pathogens and the latest research progress were explained from the taxonomic history,providing a reference for understanding and application of their correct names.Meanwhile,combined with our research work,research and development trends of Jiaobai disease and pathogen were prospected,and the problem of plant quarantine for potential pathogen transmission was put forward.
