“…The conidia of C. aenigma were similar to those reported by Zheng et al [64] but larger than those reported by Wang et al [65]. The conidia of C. fructicola were similar to those reported by Cai et al [66] and Huang et al [58] but shorter than those reported by Costa et al [67] and Zheng et al [64]. Other structures, such as appressoria, also exhibit various degrees of difference.…”

European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) is widely planted in landscaping. In October 2021 and August 2022, leaf spot was observed on C. betulus in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. To identify the causal agent of anthracnose disease on C. betulus, 23 isolates were obtained from the symptomatic leaves. Based on ITS sequences and colony morphology, these isolates were divided into four Colletotrichum groups. Koch’s postulates of four Colletotrichum species showed similar symptoms observed in the field. Combining the morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of the concatenated sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene, Apn2-Mat1-2 intergenic spacer (ApMat) gene, the calmodulin (CAL) gene, glyceraldehyde3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene, Glutamine synthetase (GS) gene, and beta-tubulin 2 (TUB2) genes, the four Colletotrichum groups were identified as C. gloeosporioides, C. fructicola, C. aenigma, and C. siamense. This study is the first report of four Colletotrichum species causing leaf spot on European hornbeam in China, and it provides clear pathogen information for the further evaluation of the disease control strategies.

“…The C. fructicola species was originally reported to cause anthracnose on coffee fruit in Thailand (Prihastuti et al., ). This pathogen had been previously reported on Manihot sculenta, Nopalea cochenillifera , Annona muricata , Annona squamosal , Mangifera indica , Phaseolus lunatus and Malus domestica in Brazil (Bragança, Silva, Haddad, & Oliveira, ; Conforto, Lima, Garcete‐Gomez, Câmara, & Michereff, ; Costa et al., ; Lima et al., ; Sousa et al., ; Velho, Alaniz, Casanova, Mondino, & Stadnik, ).…”

Diversity of pathogenic and endophytic Colletotrichum isolates from Licania tomentosa in Brazil

et al. 2018

Licania tomentosa (Chrysobalanaceae), also known as “oiti,” is a forest tree mainly used for urban afforestation in Brazil. Although anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the main disease that threatens this tree, the identification of the species was based on morphological characteristics only. Owing to the need to use the molecular approach to pinpoint the identity of this pathogen with precision, the aim of this study was to identify endophytic and pathogenic Colletotrichum isolates from L. tomentosa based on both morphological and molecular data. For prior identification, partial sequences of the GAPDH region were obtained of all the 35 isolates (10 endophytic and 25 pathogenic). After analysis, ten isolates, representative of each clade, were selected for multilocus phylogenetic analysis (ACT, CAL, CHS‐1, GAPDH, TUB2, SOD2 and ITS). In addition, a tree based on the ApMat region was obtained for comparison with the multilocus tree. Morphological characterization (colony growth, conidial size and appressoria shape) was also performed for each species. To prove pathogenicity, L. tomentosa leaves were inoculated on the adaxial surface by mycelial plugs and conidial suspension. All isolates obtained belong to the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex. The Apmat tree has the same topology as the multilocus tree, allowing for the discrimination of the different species of Colletotrichum on L. tomentosa. Endophytic isolates of C. fructicola, C. queenslandicum, and C. siamense were acquired whereas pathogenic isolates were identified as C. siamense and C. tropicale, although all species were pathogenic on the wounded leaves of L. tomentosa. This is the first worldwide report of this Colletotrichum species associated with L. tomentosa and the first recording of C. queenslandicum in Brazil.

The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Colletotrichum fructicola Prihast., a well‐defined polyphagous fungus of the C. gloeosporioides complex which has been reported from all the five continents to cause anthracnose, bitter rot and leaf spotting diseases on over 90 cultivated and non‐cultivated woody or herbaceous plant species. The pathogen is not included in EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. Because of the very wide host range, this pest categorisation focused on Camellia sinensis, Citrus sinensis, C. reticulata, Fragaria × ananassa, Malus domestica, M. pumila, Persea americana, Prunus persica, Pyrus pyrifolia and P. bretschneideri for which there was robust evidence that C. fructicola was formally identified by morphology and multilocus gene sequencing analysis. Host plants for planting and fresh fruits are the main pathways for the entry of the pathogen into the EU . There are no reports of interceptions of C. fructicola in the EU . The pathogen has been reported from Italy and France. The host availability and climate suitability factors occurring in some parts of the EU are favourable for the establishment of the pathogen. Economic impact on the production of the main hosts is expected if establishment occurs. Phytosanitary measures are available to prevent the re‐introduction of the pathogen into the EU . Although the pathogen is present in the EU , there is a high uncertainty on its actual distribution in the territory because of the re‐evaluation of Colletotrichum taxonomy and the lack of systematic surveys. Therefore, the Panel cannot conclude with certainty on whether C. fructicola satisfies the criterium of being present but not widely distributed in the EU to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest unless systematic surveys for C. fructicola are conducted and Colletotrichum isolates from the EU in culture collections are re‐evaluated.
