Colletotrichum tainanense de Silva, Crous & P.W.J. Taylor, IMA Fungus 10(1): 23 (2019)

Material examined.

China, Guangdong Province, Huazhou , isolated from healthy leaf of Citrus grandis cv. “Tomentosa”, May 2019, Y.X. Shu, (dried culture ZHKU 21-0086); living culture ZHKUCC 21-0101 .

Notes.

A single isolate obtained in this study (ZHKUCC 21-0101) clustered with the Colletotrichum tainanense (CBS 143666) ex-type strain with 93% ML, 83% MP bootstrap and 1.0 BP values (Fig. 1 ). Morphologically, the isolate obtained in this study is similar to those in the original description of C. tainanense ( de Silva et al. 2019). To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. tainanense on C. grandis cv. “Tomentosa”.

Figures

Figure 1. The most parsimonious tree of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides complex developed using combined act, chs- 1, gapdh, ITS, β- tubulin and gs sequences. Colletotrichum boninense and C. hippeastri were used as outgroup taxa. Bootstrap 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 node. The isolates belonging to the current study are given in blue for known species and new species are shown in red. Ex-type strains are noted with T.
