Abstract
BACKGROUND
Post-harvest anthracnose (PHA) of mango is a devastating disease, which results in huge loss to mango producers and importers. Various species of PHA, diverse pathogenicity, and different resistance towards fungicides make it essential to evaluate the pathogen taxonomic status and biological characterization.
METHODS AND RESULTS
Two strains DM-1 and DM-2 isolated from the fruit of DaQing mango from Vietnam were identified as Colletotrichum fructicola and C. asianum respectively, based on the morphological features, along with the phylogenetic tree of ITS and ApMat combined sequences. The growth status of different Colletotrichum strains under different conditions was analyzed to reveal the biological characteristics. The optimum growth temperature of DM-1 and DM-2 was 28 °C and mycelia grew rapidly in the dark. Both strains could grow in media with pH 4-11, while the optimum pH value was 6. Maltose and soluble starch were the most suitable carbon source for DM-1 and DM-2 respectively, and the peptone was the most suitable nitrogen source for both strains. The lethal temperatures were recorded as 55 °C 5 min for DM-1, and 50 °C 10 min for DM-2.
CONCLUSIONS
To the best of our knowledge, it is the first study reporting the identification of the pathogens: C. fructicola and C. asianum responsible for postharvest fruit anthracnose of mango in Vietnam.
