Colletotrichum panacicola isolates were obtained from anthracnose lesions of Korean ginseng and compared with four Colletotrichum species in morphology, molecular phylogeny and pathogenicity. Based on morphological characteristics, C. panacicola was easily distinguished from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides but not from Colletotrichum higginsianum, Colletotrichum destructivum and Colletotrichum coccodes. A phylogenetic tree generated from ribosomal DNA-internal transcribed spacer sequences revealed that C. panacicola is remarkably distinguished from C. gloeosporioides and C. coccodes but not from C. higginsianum and C. destructivum. However, molecular sequence analysis of three combined genes (actin + elongation factor-$1{\alpha}$ + glutamine synthatase) provided sufficient variability to distinguish C. panacicola from other Colletotrichum species. Pathogencity tests showed that C. panacicola is pathogenic to Korean ginseng but not to other plants. These results suggest that C. panacicola is an independent taxon distin-zguishable from C. gloeosporioides and other morphologically similar Colletotrichum species.

붉은 고추 탄저병균의 우점종인 Colletotrichum gloeosporioides는 C. acutatum에 비해 병원성이 강하였다. C. gloeosporioides는 G와 R계통이 존재하였으며, G계통이 R계통보다 더욱 강한 병원성을 보였다. 붉은 고추 품종간의 병원성 검정 결과, 금세기 품종이 가장 감수성이었고, 파페트 품종이 가장 약한 감수성이었다. 참깨, 홍화, 마, 그리고 딸기와 같은 다른 기주에서 분리되어진 C. gloeosporioides는 붉은 고추에 감염을 일으켰다.

Dieback disease in mango trees has been observed in Indonesia, particularly in Java Island, with the causal agent remaining unidentified. One of the important pathogens that are responsible for causing mango dieback is Colletotrichum. Field surveys were conducted in various mango cultivating areas in Java Island, Indonesia to assess prevalence of Colletotrichum as dieback disease pathogen. Eleven Colletotrichum isolates were recovered from symptomatic dieback twigs and morphologically characterized. Genetic diversity fingerprint analysis was carried out using rep-PCR. Phylogenetic analysis identified isolates as belonging to Colletotrichum asianum and Colletotrichum cairnsense using partial sequences of four gene regions, including ITS, ACT, GAPDH, and TUB2. Pathogenicity tests on mango seedlings cv. Arumanis showed that all fungal isolates were responsible for causing dieback symptoms. Subsequently, symptomatic tissue was reisolated to fulfill Koch's Postulate. This study represented new funding for two species of Colletotrichum causing mango dieback in Indonesia.

The production of dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin is known to be essential factor for pathogenicity in Colletotrichum lagenarium. However, the genetic diversity of melanin genes was not much known among Colletotrichum spp. To investigate the variability of melanin gene in Colletotrichum spp. that cause anthracnose on diverse crops including tomato, we cloned and sequenced partial sd, one of DHN melanin genes encoding for scytalone dehydratase, from eight strains of C. coccodes, C. acutatum, C. truncatum C. caricae, and C. musae. The size of PCR-amplified sd ranged 437 bp to 545 bp. The nucleotide sequence identity of sd among the Colletotrichum strains tested varied from 49% to 99%. All of the PCR-amplified sd from eight strains contain an intron and have two exons coding for 122 amino acids. Overall, the size and nucleotide sequence of sd varied among the five Colletotrichum spp. Sequence identity of the predicted scytalone dehydratase protein of 122 amino acids ranged 50 to 99%. Phylogentic analysis based on the sd nucleotide sequences revealed that the five Colletotrichum spp. could be genetically divided.

Genetic diversity and differentiation of 50 Colletotrichum spp. isolates from legume crops studied through multigene loci, RAPD and ISSR analysis. DNA sequence comparisons by six genes (ITS, ACT, Tub2, CHS-1, GAPDH, and HIS3) verified species identity of C. truncatum, C. dematium and C. gloeosporiodes and identity C. capsici as a synonym of C. truncatum. Based on the matrix distance analysis of multigene sequences, the Colletotrichum species showed diverse degrees of intera and interspecific divergence (0.0 to 1.4%) and (15.5-19.9), respectively. A multilocus molecular phylogenetic analysis clustered Colletotrichum spp. isolates into 3 well-defined clades, representing three distinct species; C. truncatum, C. dematium and C. gloeosporioides. The ISSR and RAPD and cluster analysis exhibited a high degree of variability among different isolates and permitted the grouping of isolates of Colletotrichum spp. into three distinct clusters. Distinct populations of Colletotrichum spp. isolates were genetically in accordance with host specificity and inconsistent with geographical origins. The large population of C. truncatum showed greater amounts of genetic diversity than smaller populations of C. dematium and C. gloeosporioides species. Results of ISSR and RAPD markers were congruent, but the effective maker ratio and the number of private alleles were greater in ISSR markers.

Colletotrichum spp.는 광범위한 기주범위를 갖는 다범성균으로 각종작물에 피해를주는 중요한식물병원진균이다. 최근 국내에서 널리 재배되고 있는 단감, 사과, 복숭아, 포도 등에 탄저병 이 발생하여 많은 경제적 손실을 초래하고 있다. 탄저병원균의 경우 기존에는 주로 형태적 특징이나 배지 상에서의 특성, 기주에 대한 병원성의 차이에 의존하여 분류를 해 왔다. 그러나 최근에는 병원균의 분류에 있어 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 분자생물학적 방법을 이용하고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 Random Amplified Polymorphism DNAs (RAPD)와 Ploymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) 기법을 이용하여 단감나무에 탄저병을 일으키는 균들 간에 유연관계를 밝혔다. 유연관계 분석결과 크게는2개의 그룹으로 나뉘었고 작게는5개의 그룹으로 나뉘는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Sweet persimmons have been increasingly cultivated in the southern part of Korea. However, anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum species is one of the major hindrances in cultivation and productions. In this study, we used polymerase chain reaction(PCR) to detect Colletotrichum species with the AFLP(amplified fragment length polymorphism) method. In AFLP, we used E3(5'-GACTGCGTACCAATTCTA-3') and M1(5'-GATGAGTCCTGAGTAACAG-3') primer combination and, as a result, 262 bp segment was observed in Colletotrichum species only. Specific PCR primers were designed from the sequence data and used to detect the presence of the fungus in genomic DNA isolated from symptomless sweet persimmon plants. Based on sequence data for specific segments, Co.B1(5'-GAGAGAGTAGAATTGCGCTG-3') and Co.B2(5'-CTACCATTCTTCTA GGTGGG-3') were designed to detect Colletotrichum species. The 220 bp segment was observed in Colletotrichum species only, but not in other fungal and bacterial isolates.

Anthracnose of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) was found in the peanut cultivating fields in Iksan, Korea in September 1997. Infected plants showed irregularly circular water soaking brown lesions. In the severe case, leaves and stems were entirely died. The causal fungus of anthracnose isolated from the diseased plants was identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. and its teleomorph was Glomerella cingulata (Stonem.) Spauld. & Sch. according to the criteria based on the cultural and morphological characteristics. By arificial inoculation with fungal spores on healthy peanut, anthracnose symptom was observed 15 days after inoculation.

Colletotrichum spp.는 광범위한 기주 범위를 갖는 다범성 균으로 각종 작물에 피해를 야기시키는 중요한 식물병원 진균이다. 최근 국내에서 널리 재배되고 있는 단감, 사과, 복숭아, 포도 등에 탄저병이 발생하여 많은 경제적 손실을 초래하고 있다. 탄저병 병원균의 경우 기존에는 주로 형태적 특성이나 배지상에서의 특성, 기주에 대한 병원성의 차이에 의존하여 분류를 해 왔다. 그러나 최근에는 병원균의 분류에 있어 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 분자생물학적 방법을 이용하고 있다. 최근에는 RAPD(ramdomly amplified polymorphic DNAs)와 RFLP(restriction fragment length polymorphism)의 장점만을 살린 AFLP(amplified fragment length polymorphism)기법이 유연관계 분석에 있어서 각광을 받고 있고 rDNA부위를 증폭하여 제한효소를 이용하여 다양성을 보는 방법이 많이 이용되고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 AFLP 기법 이용하여 단감나무에 탄저병을 일으키는 균들간에 유연관계를 밝혔다. AFLP결과에서 variation이 심하여 각각의 특징적인 band를 검출할 수 있었다. 특히 단감나무에 병해를 일으키는 탄저병 병원균 2개의 종이 복합적으로 관여하는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Bitter rot caused by the fungal genus Colletotrichum is a well-known, common disease of apple and causes significant yield loss. In 2013, six fungal strains were isolated from Fuji apple fruits exhibiting symptoms of bitter rot from Andong, Korea. These strains were identified as Colletotrichum fructicola and C. siamense based on morphological characteristics and multilocus sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer rDNA, actin, calmodulin, chitin synthase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Pathogenicity tests confirmed the involvement of C. fructicola and C. siamense in the development of disease symptoms on apple fruits. This is the first report of C. fructicola and C. siamense causing bitter rot on apple fruit in Korea.
