Soybean is the largest Brazilian commodity, responsible for injecting approximately R$ 1.3 trillion into the country's economy during the 2024/2025 harvest. Soybean diseases can cause an average loss of 21% of the production, warranting attention from the government and society. In recent harvests, some reemerging diseases have caused greater losses, such as target spot, anthracnose, and …
Soybean losses due to biotic diseases can directly impact food security due to its global importance and multiple uses as human and animal feed. Anthracnose is caused by several species of the genus Colletotrichum, with C. truncatum and C. orchidearum being the most representative complexes. While studies related to C. truncatum have advanced in recent years, the understanding of the inte…
Colletotrichum is a large genus of plant pathogenic fungi comprising more than 200 species. In this work we present the genome sequences of four Colletotrichum species pathogenic to soybean: C. truncatum, C. plurivorum, C. musicola and C. sojae. While C. truncatum is globally considered the most important pathogen the other three species have been described and associated with soybean onl…
Precise diagnosis of plant diseases is one of the most effective tools to minimize yield losses. Colletotrichum truncatum, Corynespora cassiicola, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are common soilborne pathogens that affect soybeans all over the world. We developed a multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay to simultaneously detect and quantify the three pathogen…

Since the beggining of time, rust fungi have been among the pathogens responsible for some of the most destructive diseases in cultivated and non-cultivated plants worldwide. Among these diseases is Myrtle Rust, caused by Austropuccinia psidii, that is becoming a growing threat to this plant family. Brazil is the center of origin of A. psidii, and currently Myrtle Rust is widespread, asso…
Colletotrichum sp. is the causal agent of anthracnose on soybean. Morphologically-based identification of Colletotrichum species has always been problematic, because there are few reliable characters and many of these characters are plastic. Recent papers have shown that a strong, solid characterization is obtained when different methods are employed together, the so-called polyphasic app…
Colletotrichum guaranicola is the causal agent of anthracnose on leaves and fruits of guarana (Paulinia cupana), an important crop in the Brazilian agricultural business. Accurate species identification is critical to understand the epidemiology and developing effective control of this disease. The conventional identification of Colletotrichum species is based on morphological characters,…

Myrtle rust, caused by Austropuccinia psidii, is responsible for significant economic, environmental, and social impacts. A. psidii is an obligate biotroph that has its asexual dikaryotic stage associated with epidemic outbreaks around the world. Brazil is the center of origin of A. psidii, and currently, myrtle rust has a wide host range, associated with more than 480 species in the Myrt…
