Disease incidence surveys were carried out on brown spot and leaf necrosis of Hydrangea macrophylla between July and September; 2014.The symptoms observed in the field were brown spot which was circular or slightly irregular in shape and somewhat sunken on the flesh leaves of H. macrophylla. The center of the spot was about 1 inch in diameter. Symptoms observed in the field include circular brown spot found predominately at the base of the leaf of H. macrophylla. The spot slowly turns tan to somewhat light grey encircled by a purple halo. The spot was about one eighth to one fourth inch in diameter. The infected H. macrophylla samples were placed on the potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and moist chamber. The results showed that Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was the most frequently isolated organism on the infected H. macrophylla leaves with percentage frequencies of occurrence of (90.0%), while Cercospora hydrangea had (10.0%) frequency of occurrence. Pathogenicity on susceptible H. macrophylla using all the fungal isolates, showed that C. gloeosporioides incited brown spot and leaf necrosis of H.

Differentiation of Corynespora cassiicola and Cercospora sp. in leaf-spot diseases of Hydrangea macrophylla using a PCR-mediated method2015 •
Mmbaga, M. T., Kim M.-S., Mackasmiel, L. and Klopfenstein, N. B. 2015. Differentiation of Corynespora cassiicola and Cercospora sp. in leaf-spot diseases of Hydrangea macrophylla using a PCR-mediated method. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 711–717. Corynespora cassiicola and Cercospora sp. have been identified as the most prevalent and destructive leaf-spot pathogens of garden hydrangea [Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunberg) Seringe] in the southeastern USA, but they are often difficult to accurately detect and distinguish because they often occur together in a disease complex with other pathogenic leaf-spot fungi and produce very similar symptoms. This study was conducted to provide diagnostic PCR primers for detecting and distinguishing Corynespora cassiicola and Cercospora sp. among other leaf-spot pathogens of garden hydrangea. Two primer pairs showed specificity to Corynespora cassiicola and one primer pair showed specificity to Cercospora sp., and these primers did not amplify DNA from any ...

First Report of Leaf Spot Disease Caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on Chinese Bean Tree in China2013 •
Chinese bean tree, Catalpa fargesii f. duciouxii (Dode) Gilmour, is an ornamental arbor plant. Its roots, leaves, and flowers have long been used for medicinal purposes in China. During July 2010, severe outbreaks of leaf spot disease on this plant occurred in Kunming, Yunnan Province. The disease incidence was greater than 90%. The symptoms on leaves began as dark brown lesions surrounded by chlorotic halos, and later became larger, round or irregular spots with gray to off-white centers surrounded by dark brown margins. Leaf tissues (3 × 3 mm), cut from the margins of lesions, were surface disinfected in 0.1% HgCl2 solution for 3 min, rinsed three times in sterile water, plated on potato dextrose agar (PDA), and incubated at 28°C. The same fungus was consistently isolated from the diseased leaves. Colonies of white-to-dark gray mycelia formed on PDA, and were slightly brown on the underside of the colony. The hyphae were achromatic, branching, septate, and 4.59 (±1.38) μm in diame...

First Report of Colletotrichum theobromicola Causing Leaf Spot of Cyclamen persicum in IsraelSchefflera arboricola is a flowering plant in the family Araliaceae; its common name is dwarf umbrella tree. It is an evergreen shrub and a popular ornamental plant, commonly grown as an indoor plant. During a sampling in 2015, a new leaf spot symptoms was observed on S. arboricola plants in several greenhouses in the Hamedan province, Iran. Most of the plants were severely damaged by this disease. The presumed causal agent was isolated from symptomatic leaves. Based on morphological and cultural characteristics, the fungus was identified as a Colletotrichum species, probably belonging to the C. gloeosporioides species complex. By means of molecular data (TUB2 & GAPDH) the fungus was revealed to be C. gloeosporioides sensu stricto. Pathogenicity tests showed that the fungus is the causal agent of leaf spot on S. arboricola shrubs. To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. gloeosporioides sensu stricto on S. arboricola in Iran.
Colletotrichum is one of the major plant pathogen causing anthracnose, a plant disease on variety of hosts from trees to grasses. In the present article we studied the taxonomy, biology and pathogenicity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioidesand the taxonomical descriptions based on morphological, microscopic and molecular approach carried out in India are also discussed in detail. Biology of the pathogen with respect to its growth conditions and detailed symptoms of anthracnose are presented. Pathogenicity of C. gloeosporioidesas plant pathogenic, saprophytic and endophytic fungi was also discussed. The different plant hosts, infected with antracnose disease mainly caused by C. gloeosporioidesare reviewed in detail, since the year 1918. Review on C. gloeosporioideslife style which may be endophytic, saprophytic or pathogenic, is also presented. Botanicals used for anthracnose management in India are also described. A brief note on the status of genus Colletotrichum during 21 st century in India is presented. It was found that about six Colletotrichum species namely,C. gloeosporioides,C. capsici,C. falcatum,C. truncatum, C. sansevieriae,C. acutatumandC. coccodeswere reported to be prevalent during 2000-2011. Therefore, the present review will be a useful compendium for mycologists and plant pathologists to study the host range of Colletotrichum species for the identification of new plant diseases, and will initiate new questions in phytopathological research for future study.
Anthracnose of maize (Zea mays) caused by Colletotrichum graminicola, is one of the most 12 economically important diseases of maize worldwide. The fungus can infect all plant parts, but 13 the most frequent resulting symptoms are stalk rot and leaf blight. In September 2013, black, 14 glossy lesions typical of anthracnose stalk rot were observed on maize stalks (Pioneer variety 15 P1114) collected from a field in the Alentejo region of southern Portugal. Stem tissue samples 16 of approximately 0.5 cm 2 were dissected, and surface-sterilized (20% sodium hypochlorite 17 solution (v/v) 1 minute, 70% ethanol solution (v/v) 1 minute) and rinsed twice in sterile 18 distilled water before transferring to half strength acidified potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates 19 supplemented with ampicillin (100 µg/ml). The plates were incubated at 25°C for 1 week 20 (Sukno et al. 2008) after which single conidia from three different symptomatic stems were 21 transferred to PDA plates. The resulting aerial mycelium was dark gray with orange colored 22 spore masses. Conidia produced in acervuli were falcate, slightly curved and tapered toward 23 the tips, and measured 22.3-(30.6)-34.8 x 4.1-(5.1)-6.2 µm (n=40). 24 Total genomic DNA of two isolates was extracted from 4 day-old cultures growing in potato 25 dextrose broth (PDB) medium incubated at 25°C using the protocol of Baek and Kenerley 26 (1998). The internal transcriber spacer region of rDNA was amplified by PCR using universal 27 fungal primers ITS4 and ITS5. PCR products (560 bp) were sequenced and a GenBank BLAST 28 analysis of the resulting sequences matched with 100% nucleotide identity to the ITS rDNA 29 sequence of C. graminicola isolates. The sequences were deposited in GenBank under 30 accession numbers KR868576 and KR868577. Based on these morphological and molecular 31 characteristics, the pathogen was identified as C. graminicola (Bergstrom and Nicholson 1999). 32 Maize plants (growth stage V3) were placed horizontally in trays in order to facilitate 33 inoculation and the third leaf of each plant was inoculated with 7.5 µl droplets of a conidial 34 suspension of 3 x 10 5 conidia/ml. Maize leaves inoculated with sterilized distilled water 35 droplets served as a negative control. The inoculated plants were placed vertically and 36 incubated in a growth chamber at 23°C with 90% relative humidity and 12 hour light period 37 (Vargas et al. 2012). Six days later, the inoculated leaves showed elongated, brown necrotic 38 lesions, distinctive symptoms of C. graminicola infection. There were no symptoms on the 39 control leaves. The pathogen was re-isolated from lesions of inoculated leaves and identified 40 morphologically, fulfilling Koch´s postulates. 41
