Severe chili anthracnose disease in Thailand is caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. capsici. To discover anti-anthracnose substances we developed an efficient dual-fluorescent labeling bioassay based on a microdilution approach. Indicator strains used in the assay were constructed by integrating synthetic green fluorescent protein (sGFP) and Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein (DsRedExp) genes into the genomes of C. gloeosporioides or C. capsici respectively. Survival of co-spore cultures in the presence of inhibitors was determined by the expression levels of these fluorescent proteins. This developed assay has high potential for utilization in the investigation of selective inhibition activity to either one of the pathogens as well as the broad-range inhibitory effect against both pathogens. The value of using the dual-fluorescent assay is rapid, reliable, and consistent identification of anti-anthracnose agents. Most of all, the assay enables the identification of specific inhibitors under the co-cultivation condition.

Chili anthracnose, caused by , causes significant yield loss in chili production. In this study, we investigated the elicitor properties of a rhamnolipid (RL)-enriched PA3 fraction derived from SWUC02 in inducing systemic resistance in yellow chili seedlings and antifungal activity against CFPL01 (Col). Fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract yielded 12 fractions, with PA3 demonstrating the most effective disease suppression, reducing the disease severity index to 4 ± 7.

Chili anthracnose, a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum scovillei, is among the most devastating diseases affecting pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Although WRKY transcription factors play important roles in plant immunity, it is unknown how WRKY gene family members contribute to pepper plant resistance to C.

Article Synopsis
- Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a valuable global crop, particularly in South Korea, where it faces significant economic losses due to anthracnose caused by various Colletotrichum species.
- In August 2022, unusual symptoms like sunken black lesions were observed on chili fruits in Yereonggwang, affecting about 1% of the fruits in a tested area.
- To identify the pathogen, fruits were collected and treated to isolate fungi, leading to five isolates identified as Colletotrichum spp., with their characteristics matching reported features of C. sojae.

species are notorious for causing anthracnose on many fruits, leading to significant economic losses worldwide. As a model, we functionally characterized cys2-his2 (CH) zinc finger proteins (CsCZFs) in , a major causal agent of pepper fruit anthracnose in many countries. In all, 62 CsCZFs were identified by genomic analysis.
