Coating is one of the methods to prevent postharvest loss in food industry. Propolis seems be promising as a coating due its waxy properties, high antifungal activity and less toxicity. In this study, propolis ethanol extract were tested for against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, causative fungus that caused anthracnose disease on banana (Musa acuminata). All samples artificially inoculated wi...

In this study, Angelica dahurica and Angelica pubescentis root essential oils were investigated as pest management perspectives, and root samples were also analyzed genetically using the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a DNA barcode marker. A. pubescentis root essential oil demonstrated weak antifungal activity against Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum fragar...

Introduction: Colletotrichum species are well-known plant pathogens, which have been increasingly reported as the cause of keratitis or subcutaneous lesions in humans. In this study we a rare case fungal from Iran and reviewed literature.
 Case Presentation: A 69-year-old man whose right eye was injured by herbal material examined slit-lamp biomicroscopy mycology investigation corneal scra...

The filamentous fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the causative agent of one most serious diseases that damage plant fruit. In this study, we discovered and experimentally characterized a new gene in named CgloRPCYG. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout mutant complementary strain CgloRPCYG were then obtained by polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated protoplast transformation to determine related phenotypes...

the fungus colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the causative agent of anthracnose disease of many tropical, subtropical and temperate fruits, and a microbial source of the anticancer drug, taxol. here, we introduce an optimized agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (atmt) protocol for genetic manipulation of this fungus using hph and gfp-tagged hph genes as selection markers. results ...

Coffee, an agronomical crop of great economic importance, is also among the most commonly traded commodities in worldwide markets. Antimicrobial peptides, which play a role in plant defense, have been identified and isolated particularly from seeds. We isolated and immunolocalized Cc-LTP2, a new lipid transfer protein (LTP) from Coffea canephora seeds. We report its antimicrobial activity again...

Understanding the factors that drive the evolution of pathogenic fungi is central to revealing the mechanisms of virulence and host preference, as well as developing effective disease control measures. Prerequisite to these pursuits is the accurate delimitation of species boundaries. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides s.l. is a species complex of plant pathogens and endophytic fungi for which relia...
