Sixteen isolates of Colletotrichum were collected from leaves with anthracnose symptoms or leaf spots of twelve wild, cultivated and ornamental plant species from the Guilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan provinces in Northern Iran. Five different species, including C. aenigma, C. gigasporum, C. godetiae, C. karstii, and C. musae were identified based on the DNA sequence data (TUB2, GS, GAPDH). Four...

We read with great interest the case report by Mendiratta et al. Concerning keratitis due to Colletotrichum dematium. Although two such studies have already been reported from India, we appreciate the authors’ interest in reporting the clinical features and microbiological aspects of another patient with Colletotrichum keratitis, particularly since this patient is from a different region of Ind...

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is a common postharvest disease of banana fruit. We investigated and identified Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose in several local banana cultivars based on morphological characteristics and sequencing of ITS regions and of the β-tubulin gene. Thirty-eight Colletotrichum isolates were encountered in anthracnose lesions of five local ...

Abstract Anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum spp. is one of the most damaging chili diseases. The purpose current study was to determine pathogenicity two important pathogens anthracnose disease, C. gloeosporioides (Penz) Penz. & Sacc. and capsici E.J. Butler Bisby, on several cultivars in laboratory. experimental design used a completely randomized factorial. first factor cultivar...

Abstract Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. is an economically important disease of many plants, including grain, vegetable, and fruit crops. Next-generation sequencing technologies have led to a dramatic growth in the size availability genomic data public repositories. Beginning with genome projects C. higginsianum graminicola , genomes been sequenced due their scientific agricultural i...

Endophytes colonize an ecological niche similar to that of phytopathogens, which make them candidate for disease suppression. Anthracnose is a disease caused by Colletotrichum spp., a phytopathogen that can infect guarana (Paullinia cupana), an important commercial crop in the Brazilian Amazon. We investigated the diversity of endophytic bacteria inhabiting the phyllosphere of asymptomatic and ...

Conidial germination of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Dothiorella aromatica was affected by temperature. The optimal temperature for germination was between 25 and 30°C. No germination occurred at 5 and at 40°C respectively. C. gloeosporioides produced appressoria in vitro while D. aromatica produced long germ tubes without appressoria. Appresorium formation was more sensitive to temperatu...
