Alternaria Pathosystems for Study of Citrus Diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Leaf spot disease of rough lemon and brown spot disease of tangerines caused by distinct pathotypes of Alternaria alternata, and postharvest fruit black rot disease caused by A. citri, are the three major fungal diseases of citrus. The pathogenicity and specificity for the pathogens of Alternaria leaf spot and brown spot diseases are associated with the production of different host-specific toxins designated as ACRand ACT-toxins. Production of endopolygalacturonase plays a role in causing disease symptoms of Black rot pathogen of A. citri. This review summarizes the recent progress on these citrus pathomodels. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alternaria brown spot is one of the most important diseases of tangerines and their hybrids worldwide. Recently, outbreaks in Mediterranean areas related to susceptible cultivars, refocused attention on the disease. Twenty representatives were selected from a collection of 180 isolates of Alternaria spp. from citrus leaves and fruit. They were characterized along with reference strains of Alter...

Most Alternaria spp. are considered asexual but recent molecular evolution analyses of Alternaria mating-type genes show that the mating locus is under strong purifying selection, indicating a possible role in sexual reproduction. The objective of this study was to determine the mode of reproduction of an Alternaria alternata sensu lato population causing citrus brown spot in central Florida. M...
