“…Several other Colletotrichum spp. such as C. circinans (Kim et al, 2008 ; Kiehr et al, 2012 ; Chen et al, 2022 ), C. coccodes (Rodriguez-Salamanca et al, 2012 ; Baysal-Gurel et al, 2014 ; Hay et al, 2016 ), C. siamense, C. truncatum (Chowdappa et al, 2015 ; Salunkhe et al, 2018a ), C. spaethianum (Santana et al, 2015 ; Salunkhe et al, 2018b ), and recently three members of C. acutatum species complex ( C. nymphaeae, C. scovillei , and C. tamarilloi ), and two members of C. gloeosporioides species complex ( C. fructicola, C. theobromicola ) (Lopes et al, 2021 ) have been reported in onion crop and their wild relatives. Thus, all earlier studies revealed that onion anthracnose is a disease complex predominantly caused by the Colletotrichum species complex and the association of G. moniliformis , which helps to increase symptom severity.…”
