Glomerella tucumanensis is a species of fungus in the family Glomerellaceae. It is a pathogen of sugarcane responsible for the disease known as red rot of sugarcane, this disease impacts sugarcane production in South and South-East Asia and has spread to 69 countries. It has been responsible for the elimination of many commercial varieties of sugarcane. [3] [4]

Taxonomy

Glomerella tucumanensis was first described by Frits Went as Colletotrichum falcatum belonging to the family Melanconiaceae as a fungi imperfecti. This classification remained undisputed till 1943, when Carvajal and Edgerton found the conidial state of the fungi to be identical to Physalospora tucumanensis which was described by Spegazzini in 1896, putting it the family Pleosporaceae, thereby placing it under Ascomycota. In 1954, von Arx and Muller transferred the fungi to the genus Glomerella, where it remains today. [5] [6]

Colletotrichum acutatum is a plant pathogen and endophyte. It is the organism that causes the most destructive fungal disease, anthracnose, of lupin species worldwide. It also causes the disease postbloom fruit drop on many varieties of citrus, especially Valencia and navel oranges in Florida.

<i>Glomerella cingulata</i> Species of fungus

Glomerella cingulata is a fungal plant pathogen, being the name of the sexual stage (teleomorph) while the more commonly referred to asexual stage (anamorph) is called Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. For most of this article the pathogen will be referred to as C. gloeosporioides. This pathogen is a significant problem worldwide, causing anthracnose and fruit rotting diseases on hundreds of economically important hosts.

Colletotrichum glycines is a species of fungus in the family Glomerellaceae. It is a plant pathogen, causing soybean and tomato anthracnose. It is the teleomorph form of Glomerella glycines.

Colletotrichum fragariae is a fungal plant pathogen infecting strawberries. It is not a well known fungus, and there are many similar fungi that are related to it. It is part of the Colletotrichum genus. It is a pathogen that occurs in strawberries. It leads to the disease known as anthracnose. This is typically at the crown of the strawberry, which is why it is often called crown rot. It is also known as the Anthracnose Crown rot. The fungus also infects leaves and is known as leaf spot, which is common among all Colletotrichum. This is not as common in the fragariae, as it is more common in the crown. This fungus is also better at infecting younger strawberries/seedlings. The most common way to control this disease is fungicides that are harmful to the environment. There have been studies done to see if the fungus infects other hosts but other than some weeds, it is very specific to Strawberries.

<i>Colletotrichum</i> Genus of fungi

Colletotrichum is a genus of fungi that are symbionts to plants as endophytes or phytopathogens. Many of the species in this genus are plant pathogens, but some species may have a mutualistic relationship with hosts.

Mucoromycotina is a subphylum of uncertain placement in Fungi. It was considered part of the phylum Zygomycota, but recent phylogenetic studies have shown that it was polyphyletic and thus split into several groups, it is now thought to be a paraphyletic grouping. Mucoromycotina is currently composed of 3 orders, 61 genera, and 325 species. Some common characteristics seen throughout the species include: development of coenocytic mycelium, saprotrophic lifestyles, and filamentous.

Emil Müller was a Swiss mycologist. He specialised in the study of the systematics of the ascomycetes. Müller was the editor of the scientific journal Sydowia for several years, taking over the position after the death of the previous editor and founder, Franz Petrak, in 1973. Müller published more than 200 papers in his scientific career. He was well known in the mycological community for two taxonomic publications co-authored with his colleague J.A. von Arx: Die Gattungen der amerosporen Pyrenomyceten and Die Gattungen der didymosporen Pyrenomyceten.

Kishan Singh was an Indian plant pathologist, known for his contributions to the pathology of crops, especially sugarcane.

He has published his research findings by way of articles and books, which include Soil fungicides, Recent advances in plant pathology, The national research grid for sugarcane in India, Sugarcane diseases and prospects of their control, Diseases of sugarbeet in India, Grassy shoot disease of sugarcane : III: response of varieties to infection, Innovations in companion cropping with sugarcane and Laminar infection of sugarcane leaves by red rot organism in nature.

<i>Colletotrichum fioriniae</i> Fungal species Colletotrichum fioriniae

Colletotrichum fioriniae is a fungal plant pathogen and endophyte of fruits and foliage of many broadleaved plants worldwide. It causes diseases on agriculturally important crops, including anthracnose of strawberry, ripe rot of grapes, bitter rot of apple, anthracnose of peach, and anthracnose of blueberry. Its ecological role in the natural environment is less well understood, other than it is a common leaf endophyte of many temperate trees and shrubs and in some cases may function as an entomopathogen.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bitter rot of apple</span> Plant disease

Bitter rot of apple is a fungal disease of apple fruit that is caused by several species in the Colletotrichum acutatum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complexes. It is identified by sunken circular lesions with conical intrusions into the apple flesh that appear V-shaped when the apple is cut in half through the center of the lesion. It is one of the most devastating diseases of apple fruit in regions with warm wet weather.
