Abstract: The Pink Disease is caused by Erythricium salmonicolor, which attacks broad hosts, such as citrus, coffee, rubber, Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp., infecting mainly branches. This disease became a serious problem in Brazil, reducing the citrus production up to 10%. However the genetic diversity and compatibility of the fungus E. salmonicolor from Brazilian citrus plants is not yet evaluated. Therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate: i) the genetic variability of E. salmonicolor in the São Paulo and M… Show more

“…The Brazilian citrus culture presents many phytossanitary problems, including more than 50 fungal diseases (19). In most of these cases, genetic pathogen variability studies are the first step aiming to obtain more information on the disease etiology, following by studies about control disease.…”

“…Molecular techniques based in DNA markers, such as the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) (2,23) and the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) (18,21), are very informative and cost-effective approaches for assessing genetic diversity of a wide range of fungi, such as Agaricus blazei (6), Alternaria species (1,3,9), Erythricium salmonicolor (19), Lactobacillus (20), Metharizium anisopliae (8), and Trypanosoma (13). The main advantage of such techniques over the one-gene based assessment is the genome-wide biodiversity which does not require prior availability of sequences on databases and are therefore readily applicable to any organism.…”

“…The characterization of different M. perniciosa isolates has been done by testing the pathogenicity with artificial inoculation (Bastos et al, 1988;Wheeler and Mepsted, 1988), somatic incompatibility assays and by assessing the biochemistry profile during the saprophytic phase (Griffith and Hedger, 1994). Molecular markers, including random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), have also been used in studies of genetic diversity of plant-associated fungi (Anderbrhan and Furtek, 1994;Yamada et al, 1998;Anderbrhan et al, 1999;Sebastianes et al, 2007).…”

“…In addition, Bunso and Osino are in close proximity to each other and therefore, it is likely that basidiospores and conidia of the necator stage of the pathogen were dispersed by wind from either of the communities to cause the disease [25]. As observed by [26], the variability may predict a greater difficulty of the control of this disease. Future studies about the genetic recombination in this pathogenic fungus are necessary for a better understanding of the genetic variability of this species.…”
