Abstract
In Malaysia, four species of Colletotrichum, namely C. fioriniae, C. scovillei, C. fructicola and C. truncatum, have been identified as the causal pathogens of chilli anthracnose. In this study, we assessed the potential of cross infection of C. fioriniae, C. scovillei, C. fructicola and C. truncatum on banana, mango and tomato fruits. The most virulent species seems to be isolates of C. fioriniae, and tomato was the most susceptible host. The results of the pathogenicity test showed the risk of cross-infection of the four species of Colletotrichum from chilli fruits with bananas, mangoes and tomatoes. The presence of wounds on fruits enhances the pathogenic potential of Colletotrichum. Identifying the host range of Colletotrichum spp. is essential for developing disease management strategies and efficient quarantine protocols.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays.
Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes.
Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
