Epidemiological Characterization of Lettuce Drop (Sclerotinia spp.) and Biophysical Features of the Host Identify Soft Stem as a Susceptibility Factor

The soilborne fungus Sclerotinia minor was not known to produce sclerotia in the stems of infected and uncollapsed Lactuca standing intact until our observation in a greenhouse in 2017. We investigated lettuce–environment–S. minor interactions in two tolerant and four susceptible Lactuca genotypes t...
