Lily tissue necrosis

Lilium L.

Necrosis in lilies is not an independent disease but a symptom of tissue death caused by fungal infections or viral exposure.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Lily, where this is mentioned in the description.

The primary fungal pathogen causing lily tissue necrosis is Botrytis elliptica. The disease manifests as brown spots that progress rapidly, causing the tissues to turn into a brown slimy mass and leading to the subsequent collapse of aerial organs, including leaves, buds, and stems.

Necrotic lesions also occur during viral infections, such as Lily mottle virus (LiMV, TBV), Lily symptomless virus (LSV), and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). In such cases, necrosis is often preceded by chlorosis or mosaic, accompanied by organ deformation or systemic tissue death. Specific resistance genes to these pathogens have not yet been identified in lily breeding, and evaluation is currently based on phenotypic responses.
