Dorrance Dr. Laurence V. Madden Dr. Sally A. Miller 1 Copyrighted by Shan Lin 2018 2 Abstract Cut branches of deciduous holly (Ilex spp.) carrying shiny and colorful fruit are popularly used for holiday decorations in the United States. Since 2012, an emerging disease causing the fruit to rot was observed across Midwestern and Eastern U.S. nurseries. A variety of other symptoms were associated with the disease, including undersized, shriveled, and dull fruit, as well as leaf spots and early plant defoliation. The disease causal agents were identified by laboratory processing of symptomatic fruit collected from nine locations across four states over five years by means of morphological characterization, multi-locus phylogenetic analyses and pathogenicity assays. Alternaria alternata and a newly described species, Diaporthe ilicicola sp. nov., were identified as the primary pathogens associated with the disease, and A. arborescens, Colletotrichum fioriniae, C. nymphaeae, Epicoccum nigrum and species in the D. eres species complex were identified as minor pathogens in this disease complex. To determine the sources of pathogen inoculum in holly fields, and the growth stages of host susceptibility to fungal infections, we monitored the presence of these pathogens in different plant tissues (i.e., dormant twigs, mummified fruit, leaves and fruit), and we studied inoculum dynamics and assessed disease progression throughout the growing season in three Ohio nurseries exposed to natural inoculum over two consecutive years.

(2009). Colletotrichum: a catalogue of confusion. Fungal Diversity 39: 1-17. Identification of Colletotrichum species has long been difficult due to limited morphological characters. Single gene phylogenetic analyses have also not proved to be very successful in delineating species. This may be partly due to the high level of erroneous names in GenBank. In this paper we review the problems associated with taxonomy of Colletotrichum and difficulties in identifying taxa to species. We advocate epitypification and use of multi-locus phylogeny to delimit species and gain a better understanding of the genus. We review the lifestyles of Colletotrichum species, which may occur as epiphytes, endophytes, saprobes and pathogens.

  • Colletotrichum Acutatum
    Prepared by CABI and EPPO for the EU under Contract 90/399003 Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests Colletotrichum acutatum IDENTITY Name: Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds Synonyms: Colletotrichum xanthii Halsted Taxonomic position: Fungi: Ascomycetes: Polystigmatales (probable anamorph) Common names: Anthracnose, black spot (of strawberry), terminal crook disease (of pine), leaf curl (of anemone and celery), crown rot (especially of anemone and celery) (English) Taches noires du fraisier (French) Manchas negras del fresón (Spanish) Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature: The classification of the genus Colletotrichum is currently very unsatisfactory, and several species occur on the principal economic host (strawberry) which are regularly confused. As well as C. acutatum, these include the Glomerella cingulata anamorphs C. fragariae and C. gloeosporioides, all of which can be distinguished by isozyme analysis (Bonde et al., 1991). Studies are continuing. Colletotrichum xanthii appears to be an earlier name for C. acutatum, but more research is necessary before it is adopted in plant pathology circles. Bayer computer code: COLLAC EU Annex designation: II/A2 HOSTS The species has a very wide host range, but is economically most important on strawberries (Fragaria ananassa). Other cultivated hosts include Anemone coronaria, apples (Malus pumila), aubergines (Solanum melongena), avocados (Persea americana), Camellia spp., Capsicum annuum, Ceanothus spp., celery (Apium graveolens), coffee (Coffea arabica), guavas (Psidium guajava), olives (Olea europea), pawpaws (Carica papaya), Pinus (especially P. radiata and P. elliottii), tamarillos (Cyphomandra betacea), tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum), Tsuga heterophylla and Zinnia spp. Colletotrichum acutatum can apparently affect almost any flowering plant, especially in warm temperate or tropical regions, although its host range needs further clarification.

In this study, 15 Colletotrichum isolates obtained from sweet basil plants with symptoms of black spot sampled in this area were characterized morphologically and by nuclear DNA analysis using internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and intervening 5.8S nrDNA as well as part of the β-tubulin gene (TUB2) regions as barcode markers. Analysis revealed all but one isolate belonged to the recently described species C. ocimi of the C. destructivum species complex. Only one isolate was identified as C. destructivum sensu stricto (s.s.).
