First Report of Colletotrichum acutatum Causing Anthracnose in Feijoa sellowiana in Italy

Strawberry Anthracnose: Histopathology of Colletotrichum acutatum and C. fragariae.

ABSTRACT Ontogeny of the invasion process by Colletotrichum acutatum and C. fragariae was studied on petioles and stolons of the strawberry cultivar Chandler using light and electron microscopy. The invasion of host tissue by each fungal species was similar; however, each invasion event occurred more rapidly with C. fragariae than with C. acutatum. Following cuticular penetration via an appress...

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

Species of the Colletotrichum acutatum complex associated with anthracnose diseases of fruit in Brazil.

Although Colletotrichum acutatum was recently investigated and shown to be a species complex comprising about 30 species, the name is still used in its broad sense for anthracnose pathogens of fruits in Brazil. In this study, a multilocus molecular analysis was carried out based on a dataset of ITS, HIS3, GAPDH, CHS-1, TUB2 and ACT sequences of Colletotrichum strains belonging to the C. acutatu...
