Colletotrichum plurivorum Damm, Alizadeh & Toy. Sato, Studies in Mycology 92: 31 (2019)

Material examined.

China, Guangdong Province, Huazhou , isolated from healthy leaf of Citrus grandis cv. “Tomentosa”, May 2019, YX Shu, (dried culture ZHKU 21-0087), living culture ZHKUCC 21-0102 .

Notes.

A single isolate (ZHKUCC 21-0102) obtained in this study clustered with the ex-type strain of C. plurivorum (CBS 125474) with 99% ML, 97% MP and 1.0 BP support values (Fig. 4 ). Morphologically, the isolate obtained in this study is similar to those in the original description of C. plurivorum ( Damm et al. 2019). Colletotrichum plurivorum was first introduced by Damm et al. (2019) as a pathogen on Capsicum annuum fruits and subsequently, has been reported as pathogens causing anthracnose or leaf spot diseases ( Farr and Rossman 2022). This is the first report of C. plurivorum as an endophyte on Citrus grandis cv. “Tomentosa”.

Figure 4. The most parsimonious tree for Colletotrichum orchidearum complex using a combined act, chs- 1, gapdh, his 3, ITS, and β- tubulin sequences. The tree is rooted to Colletotrichum brevisporum and C. magnum. Bootstrap support values equal to or greater than 60 % in MP and ML and BP equal to or greater than 0.95 are shown as MP / ML / BP above the respective nodes. The isolates belonging to the current study is given in blue. Ex-type strains are noted with T.
