Journal Article
Diverse Colletotrichum species cause anthracnose of tea plants (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) in China
2016
Overview
Anthracnose caused by
Colletotrichum
is one of the most severe diseases that can afflict
Camellia sinensis
. However, research on the diversity and geographical distribution of
Colletotrichum
in China remain limited. In this study, 106
Colletotrichum
isolates were collected from diseased leaves of
Ca. sinensis
cultivated in the 15 main tea production provinces in China. Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis coupled with morphological identification showed that the collected isolates belonged to 11 species, including 6 known species (
C. camelliae
,
C. cliviae
,
C. fioriniae
,
C. fructicola
,
C. karstii
, and
C. siamense
), 3 new record species (
C. aenigma
,
C. endophytica
, and
C. truncatum
), 1 novel species (
C. wuxiense
), and 1 indistinguishable strain, herein described as
Colletotrichum
sp. Of these species,
C. camelliae
and
C. fructicola
were the dominant species causing anthracnose in
Ca. sinensis
. In addition, our study provided further evidence that phylogenetic analysis using a combination of ApMat and GS sequences can be used to effectively resolve the taxonomic relationships within the
C. gloeosporioides
species complex. Finally, pathogenicity tests suggested that
C. camelliae
,
C. aenigma
, and
C. endophytica
are more invasive than other species after the inoculation of the leaves of
Ca. sinensis
.
