“…Furthermore, although in lower abundance (0.9%) species of Colletotrichum were predicted in market-derived samples. Among them, C. acutatum, known as the leading cause of anthracnosis [49,50] in strawberries, was not detected in this study. Finally, a phylogenetic tree was built to reveal evolutionary relationships and biological diversity in a sequence data set (Figure S4).…”

An amplicon metagenomic approach based on the ITS2 region of fungal rDNA was used to investigate the diversity of fungi associated with mature strawberries collected from a volcanic orchard and open-air market stands. Based on the Kruskal–Wallis test, no statistically significant differences were observed in both non-phylogenetic and phylogenetic alpha diversity indices. According to beta diversity analyses, significant differences in fungal communities were found between groups (orchard vs. market). Taxonomic assignment of amplicon sequence variables (ASVs) revealed 7 phyla and 31 classes. The prevalent fungal phyla were Basidiomycota (29.59–84.58%), Ascomycota (15.33–70.40%), and Fungi-phy-Insertae-sedis (0.45–2.89%). The most predominant classes among the groups were Saccharomycetes in the market group, and Microbotryomycetes and Tremellomycetes in the orchard group. Based on the analysis of microbiome composition (ANCOM), we found that the most differentially fungal genera were Hanseniaspora, Kurtzmaniella, and Phyllozyma. Endophytic yeasts Curvibasidium cygneicollum were prevalent in both groups, while Candida railenensis was detected in fruits originating only from the market. In addition, Rhodotorula graminis (relative abundance varying from 1.7% to 21.18%) and Papiliotrema flavescens (relative abundance varying from 1.58% to 16.55%) were detected in all samples regardless of origin, while Debaryomyces prosopidis was detected in samples from the market only, their relative abundance varying with the sample (from 0.80% to 19.23%). Their role in fruit quality and safety has not been yet documented. Moreover, several clinically related yeasts, such as Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Candida parapsilosis, were detected in samples only from the market. Understanding the variety and makeup of the mycobiome in ripe fruits during the transition from the orchard to the market is crucial for fruit safety after harvest.

“…Compared to primary inoculum, secondary inoculum are more closely correlated with disease severity for polycyclic pathogens such as Colletotrichum spp. [72,73]. As different species can cause varying levels of signs on the plant parts, the location and quantity of secondary inoculum may also vary.…”

Grape ripe rot, which is predominantly caused by the Colletotrichum species, presents a growing threat to global grape cultivation. This threat is amplified by the increasing populations of the Colletotrichum species in response to warmer climates. In this review, we investigate the wide-ranging spectrum of grape ripe rot, specifically highlighting the role and characteristics of the C. gloeosporioides species complex (CGSC). We incorporate this understanding as we explore the diverse symptoms that lead to infected grapevines, their intricate life cycle and epidemiology, and the escalating prevalence of C. viniferum in Asia and globally. Furthermore, we delve into numerous disease management strategies, both conventional and emerging, such as prevention and mitigation measures. These strategies include the examination of host resistances, beneficial cultivation practices, sanitation measures, microbiome health maintenance, fungicide choice and resistance, as well as integrated management approaches. This review seeks to enhance our understanding of this globally significant disease, aspiring to assist in the development and improvement of effective prevention and control strategies.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. nymphaeae in Egypt. Colletotrichum nymphaeae was described recently in the UK (Baroncelli et al, 2015) and China (Ji et al, 2022), and was reported to be more aggressive than C. fioriniae in the USA (Wang et al, 2019). Given the occurrence and pathogenicity of C. nymphaeae, this species is likely to be a key cause of strawberry anthracnose in Egypt and management strategies are required to prevent its further spread.…”

emerging diseases, species complex Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is one of the most important export crops in Egypt which produced over 470,000 tonnes from 12,579 ha in 2021, making it the fifth largest strawberry producer after China, the USA, Turkey, and Mexico (FAOSTAT, 2023). However, a severe infection of anthracnose was detected on fruits in El Behaira governorate, Egypt in November 2020 which significantly threatens strawberry production and quality. The Colletotrichum sp. species complex (Damm et al., 2012) is a known cause of strawberry anthracnose, of which C. nymphaeae is the dominant and most serious species.Fourteen strawberries showing typical symptoms of anthracnose were collected from commercial fields (mainly cvs. Fertona and Festival) in Badr City, El Beheira governorate in January 2021 (Figure 1). The samples had necrotic tissues covered with orange conidial masses on the fruit epicarp. For isolation, approximately 0.5 mm of the lesion margin was excised and surface sterilised using 2% sodium hypochlorite, rinsed three times using sterilised water, cultured on potato dextrose agar, and incubated for seven days at 25 • C. Isolates with morphological characteristics consistent with Colletotrichum were obtained from ten of the fruits. Briefly, colonies were cottony white to pale grey without visible conidial masses, whereas the reverse side varied from white to salmon (Figure 2). Although acervuli were not observed, conidia were produced from hyphae on simple, short, hyaline conidiophores (Figure 3A). Conidia were unicellular, hyaline, non-septate, smoothwalled, short cylindrical, and fusiform with rounded ends or one end acute (Figure 3B). The size of conidia ranged from 15.0-21.0 µm long This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
