Comparison of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Isolates from Various Avocado Producing Areas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eighty six isolates of C. gloeosporioides isolated from avocados from various production areas were compared using fruit inoculation studies. Differences were observed, and isolates could be grouped into three groups based on lesion size. These results are preliminary and further investigation must be carried out to confirm these findings.

pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts.
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogen for a great number of economically important crops. During the necrotrophic phase of infection by Colletotrichum spp, the degradative enzymes of plant cell walls, such as pectate lyase, clearly increase. A gene pelB that expresses a pectate lyase was identified in isolates of C. gloeosporioides in avocado pathogens. Various molecular studi...

Anthracnose caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causes serious post harvest losses of avocado fruit worldwide. Typically, infections are initiated in the field on unripe fruit, but remain quiescent as germinated appressoria until fruit ripening. Over the past two decades pepper spot, a pre-harvest disease also caused by C. gloeosporioides, has been reported on 'Hass' av...

ABSTRACT Reduced-pathogenicity mutants of the avocado fruit pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolate Cg-14 (teleomorph: Glomerella cingulata) were generated by insertional mutagenesis by restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) transformation. Following seven transformations, 3,500 hygromycin-resistant isolates were subjected to a virulence assay by inoculation on mesocarp and peri...
متن کاملSurvey of fungicide resistance of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from different avocado production areas
Registered treatments for the control of avocado anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum goeosporioides are post-harvest applications of prochloraz and thiabendazole. Pre-harvest treatments to reduce inoculum levels in the field are also an important factor for successful anthracnose disease control. Pre-harvest application of benomyl was previously registered for this purpose, although at this st...

ABSTRACT Colletotrichum crown rot of strawberry in Florida is caused primarily by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. To determine potential inoculum sources, isolates of Colletotrichum spp. from strawberry and various noncultivated plants growing in the areas adjacent to strawberry fields were collected from different sites. Species-specific internal transcribed spacer primers for C. gloeosporioid...
