Symptomatic leaf samples were collected from potato plants in the main potato-growing regions of Iran, and isolations were made onto PDA medium. Single spore isolates were identified as &lt;em&gt;Ulocladium atrum &lt;/em&gt;on the basis of morphological characteristics, and the identification was confirmed by sequence analyses of the ITS, &lt;em&gt;gpd&lt;/em&gt; and Alt a1 gene regions. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that &lt;em&gt;U. atrum&lt;/em&gt; caused leaf blight on potato. This is the first report of leaf blight caused by &lt;em&gt;U. atrum&lt;/em&gt; on potato in Iran.&lt;/p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Phytopathologia Mediterranea}, author={ESFAHANI, Mehdi Nasr}, year={2018}, month={Mar.}, pages={112–114} }
