Anthracnose
Correlation study of resistance components in the selection of Capsicum genotypes resistant to the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
Authors: A.C. Maracahipes, J.W.S. Correa, P.E. Teodoro, K.L. Ara�ºjo, M.A.A. Barelli and L.G. Neves
Anthracnose is among the major diseases of the Capsicum culture. It is caused by different species of the genus Colletotrichum, which may result in major damages to the cultivation of this genus. Studies aiming to search for cultivars resistant to diseases are essential to reduce financial and agricultural losses. The objectiv.. Read More»

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose of banana (Musa spp) in Malaysia
Authors: M.A. Intan Sakinah, I.V. Suzianti and Z. Latiffah
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 Coll.. Read More»

Structural and functional characterization of the Colletotrichum lindemuthianum nit1 gene, which encodes a nitrate eductase enzyme
Authors: G.B. Nogueira M.V. Queiroz R.A. Ribeiro E.F. Ara�ºjo
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of plant bean anthracnose, one of the most important diseases affecting the common bean. We investigated the structure and expression of the nit1 gene (nitrate reductase) of C. lindemuthianum. The nit1 gene open reading frame contains 2787 bp, interrupted by a single 69-bp intron. The predicted protein has 90.. Read More»

Sexual recombination in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum occurs on a fine scale
Authors: E.A. Souza, O.A. Camargo Jr. and J.M.A. Pinto
Glomerella cingulata f. sp phaseoli is the sexual phase of the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the causal agent of common bean anthracnose. This fungus is of great concern, because it causes large economic losses in common bean crops. RAPD markers of five populations of G. cingulata f. sp phaseoli from two Brazilian stat.. Read More»

Variability of Colletotrichum spp in common bean
Authors: S.F. Mota, Q.L. Barcelos, M.A. Dias and E.A. Souza
The Colletotrichum genus presents large genetic variability, as demonstrated by the occurrence of several pathogenic races and phenotypic traits. The objective of this study was to characterize 22 strains of C. lindemuthianum and Colletotrichum spp recovered from anthracnose lesions and bean scab, and to verify the relationshi.. Read More»

Microsatellite isolation and characterization for Colletotrichum spp, causal agent of anthracnose in Andean blackberry
Authors: M.L. Marulanda, A.M. L�³pez, L. Isaza and P. L�³pez
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 .. Read More»

Vegetative compatibility and genetic analysis of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum isolates from Brazil
Authors: Q.L. Barcelos, E.A. Souza and K.J. Damasceno e Silva
The causal agent of common bean anthracnose, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, has considerable genetic and pathogenic variability, which makes the development of resistant cultivars difficult. We examined variability within and between Brazilian pathotypes of C. lindemuthianum through the identification of vegetative compatibili.. Read More»

Pathogenicity for onion and genetic diversity of isolates of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Phyllachoraceae) from the State of Pernambuco, Brazil
Authors: M.X. Vila Nova, L.R. Borges, A.C.B. de Sousa, B.T.R.V. Brasileiro, E.A.L.A. Lima, A.F. da Costa and N.T. de Oliveira
Onion anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is one of the main diseases of onions in the State of Pernambuco. We examined the pathogenicity of 15 C. gloeosporioides strains and analyzed their genetic variability using RAPDs and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the rDNA region. Ten of the strains were obta.. Read More»
