Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important grain legume crops in the world. The beans grown in north-western Himalayas possess huge diversity for seed color, shape and size but are mostly susceptible to Anthracnose disease caused by seed born fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Dozens of QTLs/genes have been already identified for this disease in common bean world-wide. ...

Anthracnose, caused by the Colletotrichum species of fungi, is one of the most serious diseases affecting jute in China. The disease causes chlorotic regions with black brown sunken necrotic pits on the surfaces of stems. In late stages of disease, plants undergo defoliation, dieback and blight, which make anthracnose a major threat to jute fiber production and quality in China. In this study, ...

Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and anthracnose (Sphaceloma ampelinum) are two of the major diseases of most grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars grown in Thailand. Therefore, breeding grapevines for improved downy mildew and anthracnose resistance is crucial. Factorial crosses were made between three downy mildew and/or anthracnose resistant lines ('NY88.0517.01', 'NY65.0550.04', and 'NY...

most of walnut production in iran comes from seed originated trees with low quality and quantity as product. for breeding new cultivar(s), from 1983 selection of iranian walnut germplasm was started at seed and plant improvement institute and at the first phase 117 genotypes were collected. seedlings of these genotypes were planted in kamalshahr (karaj), torogh, kahriz and bastam horticultural ...

John C. Inguagiato, Ph.D. James A. Murphy, Ph.D. Bruce B. Clarke, Ph.D. Anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum cereale (2), has become a common disease of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and, to a lesser extent, creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) greens throughout the world (9). The disease may occur as a basal rot of necrotic, watersoaked crown tissue at any time of the year or a...

Chilli fruit is highly susceptible to anthracnose infection at the stage of harvest maturity, due to which the fruit yield in the leading commercial variety Byadgi is severely affected. Field studies on screening of several varieties for resistance to anthracnose have shown that a variety of chilli AR-4/99K is resistant to anthracnose infection. In many crops, resistance to fungal attack has be...

A total of 82 isolates of Colletotrichum species were obtained from anthracnose symptoms of highbush blueberry trees grown in the Gochang area of Korea during a disease survey in 2008. Out of the isolates, 75 were identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and the others as C. acutatum based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Twenty six of C. gloeosporioides isolates produce...

Anthracnose occurred frequently on leaf sheaths of Welsh onions grown in Gangwha island, Korea in November, 2007. The disease incidence was as high as 30% in five fields investigated. A total of 20 single spore isolates of Colletotrichum species were obtained from the affected plants, and all the isolates were identified as Colletotrichum circinans based on their morphological and cultural char...

Anthracnose basal rot (Colletotrichum cereale) is a common and difficult to control disease of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) putting greens. While various cultural practices and fertility programs have been developed to reduce disease symptoms, fungicides are generally required to provide additional suppression. Due to the fact that anthracnose is generally more severe on under fertilized turfgr...
