A antracnose é a doença pós-colheita mais importante do maracujá amarelo, cujo agente etiológico, no Brasil, foi identificado como Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Visando caracterizar o patógeno, foram obtidos 33 isolados de três regiões produtoras do estado de Pernambuco. Critérios morfológicos como cor de colônia, forma e dimensão de conídios, a produção de peritécio e o uso de primers específicos para C. acutatum, C. gloeosporioides e "Colletotrichum de Passiflora" permitiram identificar Glomerella cingulata patótipo 1, G. cingulata patótipo 2, Colletotrichum sp. de Passiflora e Colletotrichum sp. de maracujá amarelo. Inoculações em maracujá amarelo possibilitaram separar os isolados em dois grupos, um de agressividade alta (GA-1) e outro de agressividade baixa (GA-2). Os marcadores bioquímicos como atividade enzimática amilolítica, celulolítica, lipolítica e proteolítica assim como o marcador fisiológico crescimento micelial não separaram os isolados pela agressividade. O padrão de marcas geradas pela amplificação dos DNAs dos isolados usando primers RAPD evidenciou que os isolados do GA-1 variaram menos geneticamente entre si do que os isolados do GA-2, demonstrando que os do GA-1 evoluíram mais recentemente. A amplificação do DNA dos isolados com o primer OPA-9 gerou um marcador que possibilitou caracterizar 85,7% dos isolados do GA-1 e também alguns isolados do GA-2 com agressividade próxima às dos isolados do GA-1, e por isto o primer OPA-9 pode ser usado para caracterizar isolados de Colletotrichum spp. de alta agressividade em programa de resistência genética.

Cultural characteristics were investigated as a way to distinguish isolates of Glomerella cingulata and Colletotrichum spp. associated with Glomerella leaf spot and bitter rot of apples from those that cause only bitter rot. The growth rate, response to temperature, and benomyl sensitivity of 27 isolates of Glomerella cingulata, 12 isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and 7 isolates of C. acutatum, collected from apple orchards located in the U.S. and Brazil and previously characterized based on morphology, vegetative compatibility, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes, were determined. These isolates represent the genetic and molecular diversity within isolates of C. gloeosporioides, C. acutatum, and G. cingulata from apples found in a previous study. Slower growth, lower optimum growth temperature, and less sensitivity to benomyl distinguished isolates of C. acutatum from isolates of G. cingulata and C. gloeosporioides. However, growth rate and benomyl sensitivity were not useful for distinguishing between G. cingulata and C. gloeosporioides or differentiating isolates of G. cingulata that cause leaf spot and bitter rot from those that only cause bitter rot.

In a series of field experiments, Fuerte avocado fruit (Persea americana) were susceptible to infection by Glomerella cingulata var. minor (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides var, minor) and Dothiorella aromatics, from set until harvest. Natural infection was detected from December to May and field inoculations demonstrated that small fruit in October were also susceptible. The time of infection varied with the season and was related to rainfall incidence. The significance of this finding is discussed.

A survey revealed that Anthracnosis (Glomerella cingulata asex. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) was the principal aboveground disease of field coffee in Puerto Rico. Isolates of C. gloeosporioides from both diseased soybeans and coffee caused typical branch necrosis in coffee after in vitro inoculation. Noninoculated checks showed no symptoms of branch necrosis or dieback. Necrotic spots on coffee berries collected from the field were associated with the coffee anthracnose fungus (C. gloeosporioides), the eye spot fungus (Cercospora coffeicola) and the scaly bark or collar rot fungus (Fusarium stilboides). Typical lesions were dark brown, slightly depressed and usually contained all three fungi. Fascicles of C. coffeicola conidiophores formed a ring inside the lesion near its periphery. Acervuli of C. gloeosporioides and the sporodochia of F. stilboides were mixed in the center of the lesions. Monthly fungicide sprays (benomyl plus captafol) and double normal fertilization (454 g 10-5-15 with micronutrients/tree, every 3 months) partially controlled berry spotting. Double normal fertilizer applications alone appeared to reduce the number of diseased berries by approximately 41%, but fungicide sprays gave 57% control. Combining high rate of fertilization and fungicide applications resulted in a reduction of approximately 85% of diseased berries.

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. aeschynomene causes an anthracnose of northern jointvetch, Aeschynomene virginica. Infection components, including lesion number, latent period, lesion expansion rate, and sporulation, were measured in experiments conducted in controlled environments. Two wild-type strains (3-1-3 and CLA 5A), four benomyl-resistant strains (B13, B15, B18 and B21), and four nitrate nonutilizing mutant strains (Nit A, Nit R, Nit L, and Nit T) of the pathogen were tested. Nitrate nonutilizing strains caused significantly fewer lesions on northern jointvetch than did wild-type and benomyl-resistant strains. Latent periods were significantly shorter for the wild-type strain CLA 5A than for most other strains. Lesion expansion rates of all benomyl-resistant strains were significantly slower than those of the wild- type strains. Large variations in sporulation were observed for most strains, and no differences in sporulation were found between wild-type and mutant strains. The usefulness of infection component analysis for the identification of competitiveness of strains of fungal pathogens for biological control of weeds is discussed.

Isolados de Colletotorichum sp. de folhas de pupunheira (Bactris gasipaes) com sintomas de antracnose foram comparados fenotipicamente, visando a sua caracterização e identificação. Foram analisados 17 isolados, oriundos dos Estados do Acre, Rondônia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo e Paraná. Caracterizaram-se os sintomas da doença e os isolados foram comparados em relação à forma e tamanho de conídios e apressórios, e quanto a coloração das colônias, crescimento micelial e esporulação em meio de cultura. A patogenicidade dos isolados foi confirmada em folhas de pupunheira destacadas. Todos os isolados foram identificados como Colletotrichum gloeosporioides e a fase meiospórica in vitro (Glomerella cingulata) ocorreu apenas em um isolado procedente de Linhares, Espírito Santo.
