• Abstract

  The large soybean cultivation in Brazil, mostly under monoculture and non-tillage system, affects the intensity of diseases. Amongst them, anthracnose is the most prominent, as soybeans are susceptible to infection at all stages of development. Frequent reports on the increase incidence in the northern and mid-western regions indicate that chemical control program for fungal diseases in...

  Unveiling the association of Colletotrichum species with soybean anthracnose using histological, populational and genomic approaches, AP.R

• Abstract

  Seedborne pathogenic fungi can cause severe losses to soybean crop due to the diseases they cause, as well as direct damage to the seeds such as lower germination, vigor and seedling emergence.The detection and accurate identification of pathogens is one of the most important strategies to start a preventive and curative control of plant diseases. To prevent the introduction and spread ...

  Molecular detection of seedborne pathogenic fungi in soybean, AP.R

• Abstract

  Colletotrichum is the causal agent of anthracnose on leaves, stems, fruits and seeds of numerous plant species, including several important crops. Accurate species identification is critical to understand the epidemiology and to develop effective control of these diseases. Morphologically-based identification of Colletotrichum species has always been problematic, because there are few r...

  Brazilian anthracnosis: identification, characterization and variability of causal agents, AP.R

• Abstract

  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 a...

  Etiology and variability of the causal agent of soybean anthracnose in Brazil, BP.MS

• Abstract

  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 to develop effective control of this disease. The conventional identification of Colletotrichum species is based on morphological character...
