The anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is an important disease that primarily causes fruit rot in pepper. Eighty-eight strains representing seven species of Colletotrichum were obtained from rotten pepper fruits in Sichuan Province, China, and characterized according to morphology and the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) sequence. Fifty-two strains were chosen for iden...

Mango production in the South of Senegal is exposed to intensive rainfall from late May to October, with high temperature and moisture levels. These conditions are conducive for the development of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (sensu lato) and produce a need for adequate control measures. Anthracnose disease causes preand postharvest fruit spots, fruit rot, and premature ...

ABSTRACT The role of the Co-52 and Co-42 alleles in early activation bean immunity against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is poorly known. Thus, by using anthracnose-susceptible Sutagao cultivar anthracnose-resistant G2333, this study aimed to evaluate presence SCAR markers, as well their respective defense responses, histochemical tests diferential gene expression. results showed that allele co...

Anthracnose disease can be successfully controlled by chemical pesticides in conventional fruit growing. However, organic farming, order to maintain environmental safety and fulfill consumer demand for pesticide-free food, the control of this is a major problem. The use biocontrol agents with antagonistic mechanism many phytopathogens an innovative alternative cost-effective eco-friendly produc...

Chlorella, one single-cell green algae organism that lives autotrophically by photosynthesis, can directly suppress some plant diseases. The objective of this study was to determine whether pre-spraying with Chlorella fusca suspension could induce systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in cucumber plants against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare. In order to illustrate SAR induced by ...

A total of seven fungi were identified from the surface of fully matured papaya fruits cv. ‘Sekaki’ collected form two different fields namely University Agriculture Park, UPM and MARDI, Selangor and a fruit exporter [Seng Chew Hup Kee (M) Sdn Bhd, Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia]. They were identified as Botryodiplodia theobromae, Colletotrichum capsici, C. gloeosporioides, Fusarium sp., Phomopsis ...

The genus Colletotrichum, comprised of pathogenic fungi that affect plants grown worldwide, causes the disease known as anthracnose in several fruit and vegetable species. Several studies conducted on plants have shown that the disease is characterized by the presence of one or several species of the fungus attacking the fruit or other organs of the same host. To develop and implement effective...

There may be many factors contributing to reduction in longevity and productivity in passion fruit plants, especially diseases of viral, bacterial or fungal etiologies, among which passion fruit woodiness, bacterial spot, root and collar rot, fusarium wilt, anthracnose and scab are the most important. The incidence of woody fruits in young plants totally compromises the productivity and quality...

For the past two decades, the causal agent of anthracnose occurring on strawberry in Korea was considered Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. However, the recent molecular analysis has shown that the genus Colletotrichum has undergone many taxonomic changes with introduction of several new species. As a result, it revealed that C. gloeosporioides indeed consisted of more than 20 distinct species. T...
