Abstract
|
|
|
Glomerella cingulata (conidial state : Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) was identified as the causal organism of anthracnose of citrus on the basis of morphological characteristics of the conidial state of the fungus isolated from infected leaves of Satsuma mandarin and its ascigerous state isolated from diseased twigs. The pathogen infected the leaves of Satsuma mandarin, citron and Natsu daidai only by wound inoculation. The optimum temperature range for mycelial growth and sporulation of canidia of the strain was 25¡30¡É, respectively. The characteristics of anthracnose strain of Satsuma mandarin such as growth rate and color of colony, shape and size of conidia, and appressoria were similar to those of FGG strain. However, the strain isolated from infected leaves and twigs of Satsuma mandarin was different from FGG strain to cause postharvest anthracnose of citrus, because some of morphological and pathological characteristics of the strain isolated did not correspond to those of FGG strain.
