Characterization of Glomerella Strains Recovered from Anthracnose Lesions on Common Bean Plants in Brazil

Correction: Characterization of Glomerella Strains Recovered from Anthracnose Lesions on Common Bean Plants in Brazil

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is an important disease of common bean, resulting in major economic losses worldwide. Genetic diversity of the C. lindemuthianum population contributes to its ability to adapt rapidly to new sources of host resistance. The origin of this diversity is unknown, but sexual recombination, via the Glomerella teleomorph, is one possibility. This stu...

CHARACTERIZATION OF Colletotrichum spp. STRAINS FROM COMMON BEAN ANTHRACNOSE AND SCAB LESIONS

First Report of Colletotrichum fructicola as the causal agent of Anthracnose on Common Bean and Cowpea

New Insights into the Anthracnose Resistance of Common Bean Landrace

The common bean landrace G 2333 carries a three gene pyramid for anthracnose resistance: Co-4 2 , Co-5 and Co-7. The Co-4 2 gene is well characterized but less information is available on Co-5 and Co-7. The objectives of this study were to determine if a new allele of Co-5 is present in G 2333; to characterize the spectrum of resistance conditioned by the Co-7 gene by deriving lines which only ...

Are duplicated genes responsible for anthracnose resistance in common bean?

The race 65 of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, etiologic agent of anthracnose in common bean, is distributed worldwide, having great importance in breeding programs for anthracnose resistance. Several resistance alleles have been identified promoting resistance to this race. However, the variability that has been detected within race has made it difficult to obtain cultivars with durable resista...
