“…Recently, the genomes of more than 20 Colletotrichum species have been sequenced ( O’Connell et al, 2012 ; Alkan et al, 2013 ; Gan et al, 2013 , 2016 , 2017 ; Baroncelli et al, 2014a , b , 2016 ; Hacquard et al, 2016 ; Han et al, 2016 ; Hiruma et al, 2016 ; Queiroz et al, 2017 ), revealing a tremendous diversity in genome architecture and gene content. While most of the studies focused on comparisons of distantly related lineages they also demonstrate the need for higher resolution taxonomic sampling in order to better understand the evolution of fungal genomes and the possible association with phenotypic characters such as host range, pathogenic lifestyle and reproductive strategy.…”

Colletotrichum spp. infect a wide diversity of hosts, causing plant diseases on many economically important crops worldwide. The genus contains approximately 189 species organized into at least 11 major phylogenetic lineages, also known as species complexes. The Colletotrichum acutatum species complex is a diverse yet relatively closely related group of plant pathogenic fungi within this genus. Within the species complex we find a wide diversity of important traits such as host range and host preference, mode of reproduction and differences in the strategy used to infect their hosts. Research on fungal comparative genomics have attempted to find correlations in these traits and patterns of gene family evolution but such studies typically compare fungi from different genera or even different fungal Orders. The C. acutatum species complex contains most of this diversity within a group of relatively closely related species. This Perspective article presents a review of the current knowledge on C. acutatum phylogeny, biology, and pathology. It also demonstrates the suitability of C. acutatum for the study of gene family evolution on a fine scale to uncover evolutionary events in the genome that are associated with the evolution of phenotypic characters important for host interactions.

“…To date the main research focus in C. lindemuthianum is to delineate the variability, molecular diversity and population genetics, thus the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Significance and Impact of the Study: In the present study, we for the first time, report an efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) system for a hemibiotrophic fungus, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. This optimized ATMT protocol is versatile and can be used for the functional genetic studies. Insertional mutagenesis studies produce thousands of mutant lines that need to be evaluated for pathogenicity loss and the traditional methods of pathogenicity assay in bean-anthracnose pathosystem are time consuming and laborious. Hence, we developed a quick and robust screening method that produce consistent results similar to the established bioassay methods. Our optimized ATMT and virulence analysis protocols will prove useful in understanding the bean-anthracnose interface.

“…More than ten genomes of the genus Colletotrichum have been sequenced to date [72][73][74][75][76]. Members of Colletotrichum belong to six independent species complexes that deploy various infection strategies, including biotrophic, necrotrophic, hemibiotrophic, and endophytic strategies, to derive nutrients from colonized monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants [7,19,74].…”

Colletotrichum species form one of the most economically significant groups of pathogenic fungi and lead to significant losses in the production of major crops—in particular, fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees. Members of the genus Colletotrichum cause anthracnose disease in many plants. Due to their considerable variation, these fungi have been widely investigated in genetic studies as model organisms. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of four Colletotrichum species (C. fioriniae, C. lupini, C. salicis, and C. tamarilloi). The reported circular mitogenomes range from 30,020 (C. fioriniae) to 36,554 bp (C. lupini) in size and have identical sets of genes, including 15 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 29 tRNA genes. All four mitogenomes are characterized by a rather poor repetitive sequence content with only forward repeat representatives and a low number of microsatellites. The topology of the phylogenetic tree reflects the systematic positions of the studied species, with representatives of each Colletotrichum species complex gathered in one clade. A comparative analysis reveals consistency in the gene composition and order of Colletotrichum mitogenomes, although some highly divergent regions are also identified, like the rps3 gene which appears as a source of potential diagnostic markers for all studied Colletotrichum species.
