First Report of Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum fioriniae on Chinese Matrimony Vine in Korea

A fungus, Colletotrichum fioriniae, was isolated for the first time from fruits of Chinese matrimony vine (Lycium chinense Mill.) in Korea. It was classified as C. fioriniae based on the morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase and β-tubulin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. fioriniae causing anthracnose of Chi...

Pre- and Post-Infection Activity of Pyraclostrobin for Control of Anthracnose Fruit Rot of Strawberry Caused by Colletotrichum acutatum

Strawberry anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum J. H. Simmonds, is one of the most serious diseases in commercial strawberry production. Even in well-managed fields, losses due to the fruit-rotting phase can exceed 50% when conditions favor disease development (10). Historically, the disease has been thought of as a “southern” disease (16), occurring primarily in the warmer production...
