“…Following taxonomic revision, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was still identified as the causal pathogen of dragon fruit anthracnose in China and Taiwan [7,8]. Other species of Colletotrichum within the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex causing dragon fruit anthracnose include Colletotrichum siamense [9,10], Colletotrichum karstii [11], and Colletotrichum fructicola [12]. In addition, Colletotrichum truncatum and Colletotrichum boninense have also been implicated in dragon fruit anthracnose [13,14] (Table 1).…”

Minor tropical fruits are grown on a small scale and provide income to smallholder farmers. The cultivation of these fruit crops indirectly contributes to the economy of producing countries as well as to food and crop security. Dragon fruits, guava, passionfruit, lychee, longan, mangosteen, durian, and rambutan are common minor fruit crops. In recent years, the international trade of some of these minor tropical fruits, particularly dragon fruit, passionfruit, guava, and lychee, has increased due to their nutritional value, with various health benefits. Similar to other crops, minor fruit crops are susceptible to fungal and oomycete diseases. These diseases negatively affect the yield and quality of fruit crops, leading to substantial losses. In this context, the knowledge of disease types and causal pathogens is fundamental to develop suitable disease management practices in the field as well as appropriate post-harvest treatments.

“…The species include: Nigrospora sphaerica, which causes reddish-brown spot (Taguiam et al 2020a); Epicoccum sorghinum, causing necrotic brown lesion (Taguiam et al 2020b); and Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, causing stem canker (Taguiam et al 2020c). In addition, Collectrichum fruticola causes anthracnose to dragon fruit species including H. undatus and also Hylocereus monacanthus, which was reported in the Philippines (Evallo et al (2021). Associated diseases caused by these pathogens have been recorded in different parts of the Philippines including Laguna, Ilocos Norte, Cavite and Bukidnon.…”

Fungal disease is one of the major challenges that affects yield quality and profit in dragon fruit production today, as it causes a considerable amount of production loss. In this study, fungal pathogens of dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) plants in Southern Philippines were identified. Sample collection was conducted in selected farms in Saranggani Province, Philippines. Diseased parts of the dragon fruit plants were collected and brought to the laboratory to culture its associated fungi. Grown fungi were pure cultured and subjected to pathogenicity testing using the detached stem method. A total of eight distinct fungal colonies were isolated from the collected dragon fruit samples. The pathogenicity test revealed that three of the isolates caused lesions in a healthy dragon fruit plant tissue, which turned yellow soft and watery as the infection progressed. The three pathogenic isolates were molecularly identified as Fusarium oxysporum (FRI3), Aspergillus minisclerotigenes (FRI2), and Fusarium incarnatum (FLI3). Interestingly, F. incarnatum and A. minisclerotigenes were new recorded pathogens of dragon fruit. Identification of fungal pathogens on economically important crops is an essential step in the development of strategies to address problems related to fungal diseases which, in turn, will help farmers to enhance their production.

“…Its wide distribution and ability to infect a diverse range of plants make it a significant pathogen, causing significant economic losses to important crops such as apple, pear, strawberry, and other Rosaceae and non-Rosaceae species [38]. This fungus has been reported to cause anthracnose on various plants in different regions, including white jute in China [39], cassava in Brazil [40], tea in Taiwan [41], and shine muscat in Korea [42]. In southern Brazil and Uruguay, it is the primary cause of apple bitter rot and Glomerella leaf spot [43,44].…”

In this study, a microbial strain was isolated from humus soil to ferment Sophora flavescens and Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus extracts. The isolated microbial was identified as the Bacillus genus by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The fermented plant extracts exhibited antifungal effects against four types plant pathogen, P. carotorum, B. cinerea, C. fructicola Sau-3, and C. gloeosporioides, according to incubation time. In particular, the fermented plant extracts showed the most activity for Colletotrichum genus in inhibiting mycelium growth. Metabolite changes in fermented S. flavescens and E. sessiliflorus extracts were confirmed through LC-Q-TOF/MS. Flavonoid and peptide derivatives were improved in fermented S. flavescens and E. sessiliflorus extracts compared to their unfermented counterparts. This study suggested that isolated Bacillus microbial fermentation could be a valuable tool in improving the bioactivity of S. flavescens and E. sessiliflorus extracts, with the potential to form more environmentally friendly antifungal agents.
