Abstract
Plants of the genus Myrciaria are commonly cultivated in the northern region of Brazil for fruit production. Symptoms of leaf spot in camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) trees are frequently observed. The objective of this study was to identify the etiological agent associated with anthracnose in camu-camu using the concept of morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Leaves with symptoms of anthracnose were collected from camu-camu plants in the state of Roraima, Brazil. Morphological identification; sequencing analysis of CAL, GAPDH, CHS-1 and TUB2 gene regions; a pathogenicity test and reisolation of the fungus from symptomatic artificially inoculated plants confirmed C. theobromicola as the causal agent of the disease. This is the first record of C. theobromicola causing anthracnose in camu-camu in Brazil.
期刊介绍:
This peer reviewed, highly specialized journal covers forest pathological problems occurring in any part of the world. Research and review articles, short communications and book reviews are addressed to the professional, working with forest tree diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses, and phytoplasms; their biology, morphology, and pathology; disorders arising from genetic anomalies and physical or chemical factors in the environment. Articles are published in English.
Fields of interest: Forest pathology, effects of air pollution and adverse environmental conditions on trees and forest ecosystems.
