Subcuticular−Intracellular Hemibiotrophy of Colletotrichum lupini in Lupinus mutabilis.

Anthracnose caused by is the most important disease affecting lupin cultivation worldwide. has been widely studied due to its high protein and oil content. However, it has proved to be sensitive to anthracnose, which limits the expansion of its cultivation.

Response to Anthracnose in a Tarwi () Collection Is Influenced by Anthocyanin Pigmentation.

Anthracnose, caused by , is a major limiting factor for lupin production. Tarwi or Andean Lupin () is generally regarded as susceptible to anthracnose, but the high protein and oil content of its seeds raise interest in promoting its cultivation in Europe. In this study we evaluated the response to anthracnose of 10 tarwi accessions contrasting in anthocyanin pigmentation, by comparison to white lupin (), using a contemporary Portuguese fungal isolate.
