Diversity, Prevalence and Virulence of Species Causing Anthracnose on Cassava Leaves in the Northern Region of Brazil.

Cassava ( Crantz) is a staple crop widely cultivated by small farmers in tropical countries. However, despite the low level of technology required for its management, it can be affected by several diseases, with anthracnose as the main threat. There is little information about the main species of that infect cassava in Brazil.

First report of causing grape ripe rot in Brazil.

cv. BRS Vitória is a seedless black table grape cultivar with an extremely pleasant flavor and is adapted to cultivation in all Brazilian regions. Between November and December 2021, grape berries presenting typical ripe rot symptoms were found in three vineyards located in Petrolina, Pernambuco Brazil.

Genome Resources for the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Species Complex: 13 Tree Endophytes from the Neotropics and Paleotropics.

Thirteen draft genome assemblies are presented for four Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex species, namely, Colletotrichum aeschynomenes, Colletotrichum asianum, Colletotrichum fructicola, and Colletotrichum siamense, which were isolated from tropical tree hosts as endophytes.

First report of causing anthracnose in cassava in Brazil.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) presents significant economic importance in Brazil and other developing countries due to its use in human and animal feeding. In 2019, cassava plants sampled in Pará state (Brazil) presented necrotic and irregular leaf spots, characteristic symptoms of cassava anthracnose. About 90% of the plants were symptomatic, and disease severity was higher during months with high temperature and humidity.

Diversity, Prevalence, and Virulence of Species Associated with Lima Bean in Brazil.

Anthracnose is one of the most important diseases of lima bean in Brazil. Previously, the disease was attributed exclusively to . Therefore, this work aimed to characterize the diversity, prevalence, and virulence of spp.

The impact of phenotypic and molecular data on the inference of Colletotrichum diversity associated with Musa.

Developing a comprehensive and reliable taxonomy for the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex will require adopting data standards on the basis of an understanding of how methodological choices impact morphological evaluations and phylogenetic inference. We explored the impact of methodological choices in a morphological and molecular evaluation of Colletotrichum species associated with banana in Brazil. The choice of alignment filtering algorithm has a significant impact on topological inference and the retention of phylogenetically informative sites.
