Colletotrichum
First morphogenetic identification of the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum musae (Phyllachoraceae) from imported bananas in Saudi Arabia
Authors: K.A. Abd-Elsalam, S. Roshdy, O.E. Amin and M. Rabani
Colletotrichum musae is the causal agent of anthracnose in banana fruits; infection by this fungal pathogen results in severe post-harvest losses. Eleven C. musae isolates were obtained from infected imported banana fruit samples with anthracnose lesions collected from different markets in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The pathogenic,.. Read More»

pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts
Authors: L.V. Medeiros, D.B. Maciel, V.V. Medeiros, L.M. Houllou Kido and N.T. Oliveira
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogen for a great number of economically important crops. During the necrotrophic phase of infection by Colletotrichum spp, the degradative enzymes of plant cell walls, such as pectate lyase, clearly increase. A gene pelB that expresses a pectate lyase was identified in isolate.. 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»
