Rubber tree Corynespora leaf fall (CLF) disease, caused by the fungus Corynespora cassiicola, is one of the most damaging diseases in rubber tree plantations in Asia and Africa, and this disease also threatens rubber nurseries and young rubber plantations in China. C. cassiicola isolates display high genetic diversity, and virulence profiles vary significantly depending on cultivar. Although one phytotoxin (cassicolin) has been identified, it cannot fully explain the diversity in pathogenicity between C. cassiicola species, and some virulent C. cassiicola strains do not contain the cassiicolin gene. In the present study, we report high-quality gapless genome sequences, obtained using short-read sequencing and single-molecule long-read sequencing, of two Chinese C. cassiicola virulent strains. Comparative genomics of gene families in these two stains and a virulent CPP strain from the Philippines showed that all three strains experienced different selective pressures, and metabolism-related gene families vary between the strains. Secreted protein analysis indicated that the quantities of secreted cell wall-degrading enzymes were correlated with pathogenesis, and the most aggressive CCP strain (cassiicolin toxin type 1) encoded 27.34% and 39.74% more secreted carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) than Chinese strains YN49 and CC01, respectively, both of which can only infect rubber tree saplings. The results of antiSMASH analysis showed that all three strains encode ~60 secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters (SM BGCs). Phylogenomic and domain structure analyses of core synthesis genes, together with synteny analysis of polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene clusters, revealed diversity in the distribution of SM BGCs between strains, as well as SM polymorphisms, which may play an important role in pathogenic progress. The results expand our understanding of the C. cassiicola genome. Further comparative genomic analysis indicates that secreted CAZymes and SMs may influence pathogenicity in rubber tree plantations. The findings facilitate future exploration of the molecular pathogenic mechanism of C. cassiicola.

Effect of weather on the development of leaf fall disease in the yielding rubber estate.  This research was conducted in  PTP VII Bergen Lampung  from  July  to August for 2005 and 2006 (new leaves period). This research was carried out using survey and experiment methods.  Parameters observed in the research were persentages of leaf stage, the number of leaf fall  per m2 caused by Corynespora cassiicola and amount of  spore distributed  in air, daily rainfall amount and number of rain days. Results of the study showed that  the pattern of rainfall  and number of raindays affected the development of plant’s new  leaves and  leaf fall disease caused by Corynespora.  The amount of spores distributed in the air was relatively higher in 2005 observation period compared to  2006 one.  The pattern of rainfall and number of rain days also affected the disease severity which was higher in 2005 compared to 2006. Epidemy  was occurred when lower rainfall amount  taking place intermittently with sunny days in the period of new leave formation.

<p><em>Leaf fall disease in rubber caused by </em>Corynespora cassiicola<em> </em><em>fungi significantly decreases rubber productivity. </em>C. cassiicola<em> causes leaves to fall all year round</em><em>,  a delay in the tapping of immature rubber  plants, yield decrease of producing plants, and even death of susceptible clones.  The study aimed to obtain phylloplane and endophytic microbes potentially to inhibit the disease, was conducted from January to December 2016. The study used randomized complete design to assess antagonistic fungi and phylloplane and endophytic bacterias toward </em>C. cassiicola<em> in isolates obtained through exploration in </em><em>West Java and West Kalimantan. Pathogen isolation showed </em>Corynespora sp<em> with pale brown color, single conidia which slightly bended, shaped like a stick that is swollen at the base, with 2–14 septa.  Inhibitory analysis found 42 fungi isolates and 19 bacteria isolates potentially inhibiting </em>C. cassiicola<em>. </em><em>Six fungi isolates have an inhibitory ability of ≥90%, consisting of two phylloplane fungi isolates (DTJF11 and CPSR7) and four endophytic fungi (CEBPM15, CEBPM23, CEBPM27, and CEPR9) with lysis, mycoparasitism, competition, and antibiosis inhibitory mechanism.

Leaf fall disease caused by Corynespora cassiicola is the most important disease in a rubber plantation. Thedisruption will decrease the productivity, delaying on grafting in a nursery and hard attack will flaw the seed,stunted and even dead. Curative prevention on old crop need huge expenses with uncertain result, hence it isnecessary to understand the host range of C. cassiicola completed with its cultural characteristics to utilizedin disease preventions such as intercropping and mixed cropping recommendation for weed control action.This study aims to obtain plants that are host of C. cassiicola. This research showed that isolate of C. cassiicolafrom clone GT1 of rubber infected 12 plants from 16 tested plants in various incubation periods which were:cucumber, soybean, alamanda, papaya, cassava, babadotan, sweet potato, tapak dara, peanuts, asystasia,mucuna, and RRIM 600. Pathogenicity examination showed 5 resistence degree, which were: resistant(babadotan, lulangan weed, sweet potato, mucuna, lantana, asystasia, spinach torm and sembung rambat) ;slightly resistant (rubber, peanuts, alamanda and tapak dara) ; moderate (soybean and papaya) ; slightlysusceptible (cassava) and susceptible (cucumber).

When grown in monoculture, Antilles cherry (Malpighia glabra) plants have been affected by diseases which cause fruits malformation and spotting, reducing their value for market. From 1999 on, three new diseases characterised by leaf spot and fall of leaves have been observed in plantations located in Santa Izabel do Pará and Igarapé Açu counties. After isolation and pathogenicity tests on leaves of Antilles cherry plants, the isolates were identified as Calonectria ilicicola (anamorph: Cylindrocladium parasiticum) which causes large leaf spots reaching up to 7 cm long, brownish in colour, coalescent, scorching large leaf areas and causing 50% of leaf fall; Corynespora cassiicola, which provokes irregularly shaped, necrotic leaf spots with dark brown margins and white centers, surrounded by a yellow halo; and Myrothecium roridum which causes greyish target spots. Corynespora cassiicola has been reported causing leaf spots on different hosts in the Amazon region, while C. cassiicola has been recorded infecting Antilles cherry besides other hosts in the States of Maranhão and Pará.

Corynespora leaf fall disease (CLFD) caused by Corynespora cassiicola is increasingly a major problem for the development of rubber production in Côte d'Ivoire. In the search for solutions to this problem, the efficacy of 11 fungicides (Azoxystrobin, Carbendazime + Chlorothalonil, Carbendazime, Chlorothalonil, Difenoconazole, Fosetyl-Aluminum, Iprodione, Mancozeb, Metalaxyl + Copper Oxide, Pyraclostrobin + Fenpropimorph, Triadimefon) was laboratory tested against an isolate of C. cassiicola. The results of this test showed a high level of efficacy of four fungicides, Iprodione, Carbendazime + Chlorothalonil, Carbendazim and Pyraclostrobin + Fenpropimorph. The use of these four fungicides formulations in mature plantation would be well indicated, to overcome this foliar pathology.
