Rhizopus rot of passion fruit, Passiflora edulis × P. edulis f. flavicarpa, occurred on Chichijima in Ogasawara(Bonin) Islands in 2005. The pathogen isolated from the diseased plants was identified as Rhizopus sp. An inoculation test confirmed that this fungus was the causal agent of this disease. This is the first report of this disease in Japan.
