“…Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these isolates occur in the same clade as the neotypic of C. horii (WEIR & JOHNSON, 2010) and other strains from different regions and plants (ZHANG, 2008;YU et al 2015). However, researchers recently collected fungal isolates during 2017-2018 season from persimmons in several parts of Brazil and identified, in addition to C. horii, new species within the Colletotrichum genus such as C. fructicola, C. nymphaeae, and C. melonis (CARRARO et al 2019). Moreover, different species of Colletotrichum have been responsible for persimmon anthracnose worldwide, including C. gloeosporioides (Penz.)…”

“…According to the difference response about persimmon tissue pathogenicity among Colletotrichum isolates, we suggested that a comparative study should be conducted between the isolates of different plant parts as well as between different populations and different regions of persimmon production in Brazil, especially considering the recent detection of new Colletotrichum species causing anthracnose in persimmon (CARRARO et al 2019). This kind of information would be highly advantageous for developing future strategies to control this disease.…”

Persimmon anthracnose: a comparative study of aggressiveness on shoot and fruit among Colletotrichum horii isolates in southern Brazil

The persimmon tree is known for its rusticity and productivity and was first introduced to Brazil in the late 19th century. However, anthracnose disease is causing immature fruit drop and severe disease symptoms in persimmon fruit, shoots, flowers, and twigs. The causal agent was first described as the fungal species, Colletotrichum horii, which was first confirmed using only the ITS region. In this study, we compared the aggressiveness of 13 isolates of Colletotrichum spp. obtained from fruit and shoots of persimmon grown in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil. A multilocus molecular analysis was carried out based on ITS, GPDH, and EF genes, and we confirmed that the isolates were confirmed as C. horii. All isolates were pathogenic for unwounded and wounded persimmon fruit but differed in aggressiveness. Only one isolate was non-pathogenic when inoculated into unwounded persimmon shoots. Most isolates caused cankers and shoot death whether shoots were wounded or unwounded. In this study, we emphasized the importance of shoots as a source of primary inoculum. In future studies, it will be critical to further elucidate the epidemiological basis of anthracnose disease by conducting field studies to establish a more effective strategy for disease control.

“…Plants infected by C. fructicola show symptoms of anthracose, which include dark brown stem and fruit spots, pre‐ and post‐harvest fruit rot, spotting and wilting of leaves (Zhang et al., 2015 ; Guarnaccia et al., 2016 ; Carraro et al., 2019 ; Fu et al., 2019 ; Chung et al., 2020 ; Echeverrigaray et al., 2020 ; Fuentes‐Aragón et al., 2020 ). However, these symptoms are similar to those caused by other Colletotrichum species.…”

“…In Fujian province (China), the leaf black spot disease caused by C. fructicola on sandy pear ( P. pyrifolia ) affects 15–30% of the pear‐growing areas causing more than 30 million kg in fruit loss each year (Zhang et al., 2015 ). In Brazil, commercial persimmon ( Diospyros kaki ) orchards affected by C. fructicola may experience 80% of anthracnose incidence resulting in comparable yield losses (Carraro et al., 2019 ). In Korea, C. fructicola was identified as the causal agent of anthracnose on strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) with more than 30% of nurseries being affected by the disease (Nam et al., 2013 ).…”

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.
