Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis consists of four chapters that present research findings on Colletotrichum diseases associated with Proteaceae worldwide. The first chapter is a review of literature regarding the taxonomy and histology of Colletotrichum species associated with Proteaceae. The literature is not restricted to Proteaceae hosts, as information regarding Colletotrichum on Proteaceae is very limited. In chapter two, Colletotrichum spp. associated with proteaceous hosts growing in various parts of the world were identified based on morphology, sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS-I, ITS-2), the 5.8S gene, and partial sequences of the B-tubulin gene. Four species of Colletotrichum were associated with Proteaceae. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was isolated from Protea cynaroides cultivated in South Africa and Zimbabwe and from a Leucospermum sp. in Portugal, but is known to occur worldwide on numerous hosts. A recently described species, C. boninense, was associated with Zimbabwean and Australian Proteaceae, but also occurred on a Eucalyptus sp. in South Africa. This represents a major geographical and host extension for the species, and a description of the African strains is provided. Colletotrichum crassipes was represented by a single isolate obtained from a Dryandra plant in Madeira. Colletotrichum acutatum was isolated from Protea and Leucadendron in South Africa as well as from other proteaceous hosts occurring elsewhere. Colletotrichum acutatum f. sp. hakea was isolated from Hakea in South Africa. In chapter three, pathogenicity of these Colletotrichum species to certain proteas was established, relative aggressiveness of the different species tested and host response to them were compared as well as the effect that wounding had on host response. From the results obtained it is concluded that C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides are the primary pathogens associated with Colletotrichum leaf necrosis, and C. acutatum is the main cause of anthracnose and stem necrosis of Proteaceae in South Africa. A histological study was performed in chapter four in response to the findings from the previous chapter. The behaviour of two C. acutatum isolates (one originating from Protea and the other from Hakea, C. acuataum f.sp. hakea) was studied on inoculated Protea leaf surfaces using light and scanning electron microscopy. Colletotrichum acutatum from Protea formed melanised appressoria on the leaf surface, whereas C. acutatum from Hakea formed very low numbers of both melanised and unmelanised appressoria. Most of the appressoria formed by C. acutatum from Protea were formed on the cell junctions and on the periclinal walls of the epidermal cells. From this study it is clear that C. acutatum f. sp. hakea is not a pathogen of Protea. Consequently the current use of this isolate as a biological control agent of Hakea in South Africa poses no threat to indigenous Protea species. Colletotrichum acutatum from Protea (although closely related to C. acutatum f. sp. hakea), is a pathogen of Protea, which was confirmed by histological observations. In conclusion, the present study has shown that several species of Colletotrichum are associated with diseased Proteaceae. These species differed in their pathogenicity and aggressiveness when inoculated onto certain protea cultivars. These differences could be partially explained by examining the behaviour of C. acutatum on the leaf surface. It is clear, however, that the distribution of the different species, their aggressrveness on different Proteaceae and their modes of infection needs to be investigated further. This work provides a basis for future research on the long-term effective management of these pathogens in fynbos production.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis bestaan uit vier hoofstukke wat handeloor navorsing van Colletotrichum siektes van Proteaceae wêreldwyd. Die eerste hoofstuk is 'n oorsig van literatuur rakende die taksonomie en histologie van die Colletotrichum spesies wat met Proteaceae geassosieer word. Die literatuur oorsig is nie beperk tot die Proteaceae nie aangesien baie min inligting rakende Colletotrichum op Proteaceae bestaan. In die tweede hoofstuk word die Colletotrichum spesies wat met proteas in verskeie dele van die wêreld geassosieer word, op grond van morfologie, DNS volgorde data van die interne getranskribeerde spasieerder area ("ITS-I, ITS-2"), die 5.8S geen, en gedeeltelike DNS volgordes van die B-tubulin geen geïdentifiseer. Vier Colletotrichum spesies is met die Proteaceae geassosieer. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is geïsoleer vanaf Protea cynaroides wat in Suid-Afrika en Zimbabwe gekweek is en vanaf 'n Leucospermum sp. in Portugal, maar is bekend op verskeie gashere wêreldwyd. 'n Spesie wat onlangs beskryf is, C. boninense, is met Zimbabwiese en Australiaanse Proteaceae geassosieer, maar kom ook op 'n Eucalyptus sp. in Suid-Afrika voor. Dit is 'n groot uitbreiding van die geografiese voorkoms en gasheerreeks van hierdie spesie en 'n beskrywing van die Afrikaanse rasse word gegee. Colletotrichum crassipes is verteenwoordig deur 'n enkele isolaat wat vanaf 'n Dryandra plant in Madeira verkry is. Colletotrichum acutatum is vanaf Protea en Leucadendron in Suid-Afrika asook vanaf ander proteas wat elders voorkom, geïsoleer. Colletotrichum acutatum f. sp. hakea is vanaf Hakea in Suid-Afrika geïsoleer. In hoofstuk drie is die patogenisiteit van hierdie Colletotrichum spesies teenoor sekere proteas getoets, die relatiewe aggressiwiteit van die verskillende spesies is vergelyk, asook die gasheer se reaksie teenoor die spesies en die effek wat verwonding op die gasheer gehad het. Daar kan afgelei word vanaf die resultate dat C. acutatum en C. gloeosporioides die primêre patogene is wat met Colletotrichum blaarnekrose geassosieer word, en dat C. acutatum die hoof oorsaak is van antraknose en lootnekrose van Proteaceae in Suid-Afrika. 'n Histologiese studie is in hoofstuk vier uitgevoer in reaksie op die bevindings van die vorige hoofstuk. Die gedrag van twee C. acutatum isolate (een vanaf Protea en die ander vanaf Hakea, C. acutatum f.sp. hakea) op die oppervlaktes van geïnokuleerde Protea blare is bestudeer deur gebruik te maak van lig- en skandeer-elektronmikroskopie. Colletotrichum acutatum vanaf Protea vorm gemelaniseerde appressoria op die blaaroppervlak, terwyl C. acutatum vanaf Hakea klein hoeveelhede van beide gemelaniseerde en ongemelaniseerde appressoria vorm. Meeste van die appressoria wat deur C. acutatum vanaf Protea gevorm word, vorm op die aanhegtingspunte tussen selle en op die periklinale wande van die epidermale selle. Vanuit hierdie studie is dit duidelik dat C. acutatum f. sp. hakea nie 'n patogeen van Protea is nie. Gevolglik hou die huidige gebruik van hierdie isolaat as biologiese beheer agent van Hakea in Suid-Afrika geen gevaar in vir inheemse Protea spesies nie. Colletotrichum acutatum vanaf Protea (alhoewel dit naverwant is aan C. acutatum f. sp. hakea) is 'n patogeen van Protea en hierdie stelling is ook bevestig deur histologiese waarnemmgs. Ter samevatting het hierdie studie getoon dat verskeie Colletotrichum spesies geassosieer word met siektes van Proteaceae. Hierdie spesies het van mekaar verskil rakende patogenisiteit en aggressiwiteit nadat hulle op sekere protea kultivars geïnokuleer is. Hierdie verskille kon gedeeltelik verklaar word deur die gedrag van C. acutatum op die blaaroppervlaktes van verskillende protea kultivars. Dit is duidelik dat die verspreiding van die verskillende spesies, hulle aggressiwiteit op verskillende Proteaceae en hul infeksie metodes verder ondersoek moet word. Hierdie studie verskaf 'n basis vir toekomstige navorsing rakende lang-termyn effektiewe bestuur van hierdie patogene in fynbos aanplantings.

Full textIn several countries, anthracnose is one of the most serious diseases in pepper. C. gloeosporioides has, for many years, been reported as the causal agent of anthracnose in Brazil. C. acutatum and C. capsici have only recently been reported as agents of anthracnose in some regions of the country. In this study, 56 isolates of Colletotrichum obtained from pepper from different areas of the country were characterized and identified based on the morphological characteristics of the conidia, as well as culture characteristics and PCR analysis with species-specific pairs of primers. Isolates representative of each identified species in the sampled population were also characterized according to their pathogenicity in pepper fruits (unripe, ripe, wounded and nonwounded) and also according to their sensitivity to fungicide (azoxystrobin, carbendazim, thiabendazole, tebuconazole, captan, chlorothalonil and benzalkonium chloride). The results have showed that C. acutatum is the most prevalent species found in the main production areas of pepper, present in about 72% of the sampled population. C. capsici was equivalent to 14% of the sampled population and found in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. C. gloeosporioides was present in only 5% of the samples and it was restricted to the state of São Paulo and Distrito Federal. Only one isolate of C. coccodes was found in Rio Grande do Sul. Besides theses species, isolates of C. boninense were found in São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul, with an occurrence of 7% in the sampled population. This seems to be the first report of C. boninense infecting pepper in Brazil and other parts of the world. The pathogenic characterization showed that representative isolates of all species were pathogenic in ripe, wounded, or nonwounded fruits. In wounded green fruit, only isolates of C. acutatum and C. capsici caused infection resulting in disease symptoms. No disease symptoms were observed in green nonwounded fruits inoculated with all Colletotrichum isolates, after 12 days of inoculation. C. acutatum was the most aggressive species with the shortest periods of latency and the highest rate of sporulation in either green wounded fruits or ripe fruits (wounded and nonwounded). Isolates of different species of Colletotrichum showed different sensitivity to the systemic fungicides evaluated. The isolates of C. acutatum were more sensitive to azoxystrobin, whereas C. gloeosporioides showed the lowest sensitivity to this fungicide. C. gloeosporioides and C. boninense isolates were the most sensitive to benzimidazoles fungicides (carbendazim and thiabendazole), whereas C. coccodes isolates showed the lowest sensitivity to these fungicides. The tebuconazol fungicide exerted the highest effect on mycelial growth for all Colletotrichum species. C. capsici showed to be less sensitive to this fungicide. The results of this work have shown the presence of at least five species of Colletotrichum responsible for anthracnose in pepper in Brazil and have made evident the importance of the differences between these species, which must be taken into account for the control of the disease.

The rubber cultivation [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. Jussieu) Muell. Arg.] is being attacked by several diseases of economic importance, among which is the anthracnose; this is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum spp. (teleomorph: Glomerella spp). This fungus causes several damages in the plant such as injuries in the leaves, branches, fruits and cankers in the taping panel. Only Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was reported as the causal agent of this disease in Brazil. The aim of this study was to identify isolates of the fungus Colletotrichum spp. from rubber trees, localized in different regions of Sao Paulo state. The study was carried out by six phases: a) culture characterization, in which the color and the culture appearance were observed in vitro, conidial production and growth rate at six temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 °C); b) morphological characterization, which consist of measuring the length and width, and observed the shape of the conidia; c) pathogenicity test on selected leaves and disks of leaves, with four isolates from rubber and two isolates from citrus; d) growth in fungicide benomyl at four concentrations of active ingredient; e) molecular identification for monosporic and multisporic cultures with specific primers to the species of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum acutatum and ITS1 and ITS4 primers which amplified a small region (18S) and a large region (28S), and these also allowed the amplification of 5.8S rDNA and internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2); f) Growth tests in culture medium supplemented with fungicides: flutriafol, tebuconazole, epoxiconazole + piradostrobina, chlorothalonil + tiofonato-methyl, captan, mancozeb, carbendazim, azoxystrobin + cyproconazole and propiconazole.

Full textThe objective of this study was to determine the effect of temperature and the wetness periods in the infection process of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum in guava and citrus leaves, respectively, besides evidencing the colonization process of C. gloeosporioides. To determine the infection process at different temperature and wetness periods combinations, conidial suspensions of C. gloeosporioides were deposited on polystyrene dishes and incubated at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 °C with wetness periods of 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h. For C. acutatum, the dishes were incubated at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C, with wetness periods of 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h. In vivo conidial suspensions of C. gloeosporioides were placed on the surface of guavas which were incubated at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C with wetness periods of 6, 12 and 24 h. The citrus leaves were inoculated with suspensions of two isolates of C. acutatum and incubated at 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C with wetness durations of 12, 24 and 48 h. For the analysis on the colonization process, physiological mature guava fruits were inoculated and incubated at 25 °C with wetness periods of 48, 72, 96 and 120 h. Afterward, fruits with 10, 35, 60 and 85 days were also inoculated and incubated at 25 °C for 48 hours. To visualize the structures of vegetal tissues and phenols, sections of fruits at different ages were colored in toluidine blue and ACN. Optical temperature for conidial germination, appressoria formation and appressoria melanization for C. gloeosporioides were, respectively, 22.7, 20.6 and 23.0 °C. For C. acutatum isolate KLA-MGG-1, they were 23.9 °C for germination and 23.5 °C for appressoria formation and for isolate FSH-CLB-2 it was 21.6 °C for both variable. In guava, the temperatures for germination of C. gloeosporioides and appressoria formation were 22.4 and 23.3 °C, respectively. In leaves of orange trees, the optimal temperatures for the isolates KLA-MGG-1 and FSH-CLB-2 were, respectively, 24.1 and 24 °C for germination and 21.2 and 23 °C for appressoria formation. In leaves of lemon trees, they were 18.1 °C for germination and 16.2 °C for appressorial production of isolate KLA-MGG-1. For isolate FSH-CLB-2, the optimal temperatures were 24.4 and 23.7 °C, respectively. The colonization strategy of C. gloeosporioides was intracellular hemibiotrophic. The penetration peg was verified in samples 48 h after inoculation. After 72 h, it was observed formation of infection vesicle. The hyphae were observed in samples 96 h after inoculation. The same fungal structures reached the parenchymal cells 120 hours after inoculation. The penetration peg was observed only in fruits with 85 and 110 days. Structures of guava tissues and phenols were changed with the fruit aging.

Full textThe main causal agents of Anthracnose in guava are Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum. Although anthracnose is the main postharvest disease affecting guava, little is known about the influence of environmental variables on its development. Consequently, the objective of the present study was to determine the influence of environmental factors on in vitro development and on colonization and infection processes of C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum fungi in guava. The germination and apressorium formation were determined at temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 °C, with wetness durations of 6, 12 or 24 hours under continuous darkness. The in vivo experiments involved puncturing the skin of the Kumagai and Pedro Sato varieties of guava with a needle followed by inoculation with conidial suspensions of C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum. Fruits were then incubated in growth chambers at temperatures of 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C with wetness duration of 6 and 24 hours. Assessments were made of the following: incidence of disease, lesion diameter, rate of disease progress, as well as incubation and latency periods. In the Kumagai variety, the influence of maturity on disease progression was also evaluated. There was no germination at 40 oC in any of the species. The germination and apressorium formation rate were rather high in the range of 15 to 30 ºC for C. gloeosporioides, with a maximum at 25 ºC and of 20 to 25 ºC for C. acutatum, with a maximum at 20 ºC. For the species C. acutatum, germination rate was more sensitive to variations in wetting periods, thus significantly smaller with 6 hours on 12 and 24 hours. Temperatures of 25 and 30 °C were found to be more favorable for the variables analyzed in the in vivo experiments of Kumagai variety. The maximum lesion diameter recorded in this variety was 4.0 cm for C. gloeosporioides and 4.1 cm for C. acutatum in harvest ready fruit that had been incubated at temperatures lower than 25 °C. The highest incidence of the disease (100%) occurred 10 days after inoculation, at 30 º C and 24 hours of wetting. The lowest incubation period for both species was 7 days at 30 °C and the lowest latency period of 9 days for C. gloeosporioides and 10 days for C. acutatum at temperatures between 25 and 30 °C. For the Pedro Sato variety, temperatures between 20 and 30 °C with a 24 hour wetness period were found to be the most favorable conditions. The maximum lesion diameter was 3.3 cm for C. gloeosporioides and 3.2 cm for C. acutatum at temperatures below 25 °C. The highest incidence of the disease (100%) occurred 10 days after inoculation, at 25 and 30 º C and 6 hours of wetting. The lowest incubation period for both species was 7 days at temperatures between 20 and 30 °C and the lowest latency period of 8 days for C. gloeosporioides and 9 days for C. acutatum at temperatures between 25 and 30 °C. In conclusion, development conditions for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum acutatum were similar, although the range of conditions favorable for the Pedro Sato variety was wider than that of the Kumagai cultivar.

Full textAntifungal photodynamic treatment (APDT) is a promising method that combines a nontoxic photosensitizer (PS), oxygen and visible light to cause selective killing of microbial cells. The development of APDT depends on identifying effective PS for the different pathogenic species. In the present study, the in vitro susceptibilities of Colletotrichum acutatum, C. gloeosporioides (both are phytophatogenic species) and Aspergillus nidulans conidia to APDT with four phenothiazinium PS [methylene blue (MB), new methylene blue N (NMBN), toluidine blue O (TBO) and the novel pentacicyclic phenothiazinium S137 (S137)] in combination with red light were investigated. We also evaluated the susceptibilities of C. acutatum and A. nidulans conidia to APDT with the psoralen 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), with two coumarins (7-methoxicoumarin and 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin) and one furanocoumarin (isopimpinelin) in combination with solar radiation. Both the coumarins and the furanocoumarin were extracted, in the present work, from Tahiti lemon (Citrus latifolia). The effects of the treatments with all the PS on Citrus sinensis leaves were also evaluated. NMBN and S137 were the more effective phenothiazinium PS. APDT with NMBN (50 ?M) and S137 (10 ?M) and light dose of 25 J cm-2 resulted in a reduction of approximately 5 logs in the survival of the conidia of the three species. APDT with 8-MOP and with the coumarins resulted in a reduction of approximately 4 logs in the survival of C. acutatum and A. nidulans conidia. APDT with the furanocumarin was less effective and resulted in the reduction of approximately 2 logs for C. acutatum and 3 logs for A. nidulans. No damages to the leaves were observed when the PS were spotted on the adaxial surface of the leaves and the plants were exposed to solar radiation. Histological studies showed that the phenothiazinium PS did not cross the leave cuticle.

Resumo: A cultura da seringueira [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. Jussieu) Muell. Arg.] vem sendo atacada por várias doenças de importância econômica, dentre as quais está a antracnose, causada pelo fungo Colletotrichum sp. (teleomorfo: Glomerella sp.). Este fungo causa vários danos na planta como lesões nos folíolos, nos ponteiros, nos ramos, nos frutos e cancros no painel de sangria. Somente Colletotrichum gloeosporioides foi relatado como agente causal desta doença no Brasil. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar isolados de Colletotrichum spp. de seringueira de diversas regiões de plantio do Estado de São Paulo. O trabalho foi conduzido em cinco fases: a) caracterização cultural, na qual foram observadas a coloração e o aspecto das culturas in vitro. Produção de conídios e taxa de crescimento em seis temperaturas (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 e 35 °C); b) caracterização morfológica, na qual foi medido comprimento, largura e observado o formato dos conídios; c) teste de patogenicidade em folíolos destacados e em discos de folíolos, com quatro isolados de seringueira e dois de citros; d) crescimento em benomyl em quatro concentrações de princípio ativo; e) Identificação molecular para culturas monospóricas e multispóricas com primers específicos para as espécies de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides e Colletotrichum acutatum e os primers ITS1 e ITS4 os quais amplificaram uma pequena região (18S) e uma grande região (28S), e estes também permitiram a amplificação da região 5.8S do rDNA e os espaçadores internos transcritos (ITS1 e ITS2), e f) testes de crescimento em meio de cultivo acrescido com fungicidas: flutriafol, tebuconazol, epoxiconazol + piradostrobina, clorotalonil + tiofonato-metílico, captana, mancozebe, carbendazim, azoxistrobina + ciproconazol e propiconazol.

Abstract: The rubber cultivation [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. Jussieu) Muell. Arg.] is being attacked by several diseases of economic importance, among which is the anthracnose; this is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum spp. (teleomorph: Glomerella spp). This fungus causes several damages in the plant such as injuries in the leaves, branches, fruits and cankers in the taping panel. Only Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was reported as the causal agent of this disease in Brazil. The aim of this study was to identify isolates of the fungus Colletotrichum spp. from rubber trees, localized in different regions of Sao Paulo state. The study was carried out by six phases: a) culture characterization, in which the color and the culture appearance were observed in vitro, conidial production and growth rate at six temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 °C); b) morphological characterization, which consist of measuring the length and width, and observed the shape of the conidia; c) pathogenicity test on selected leaves and disks of leaves, with four isolates from rubber and two isolates from citrus; d) growth in fungicide benomyl at four concentrations of active ingredient; e) molecular identification for monosporic and multisporic cultures with specific primers to the species of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum acutatum and ITS1 and ITS4 primers which amplified a small region (18S) and a large region (28S), and these also allowed the amplification of 5.8S rDNA and internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2); f) Growth tests in culture medium supplemented with fungicides: flutriafol, tebuconazole, epoxiconazole + piradostrobina, chlorothalonil + tiofonato-methyl, captan, mancozeb, carbendazim, azoxystrobin + cyproconazole and propiconazole.

Full textColletotrichum spp. are significant plant pathogens worldwide in field, as well as on stored fruits. Two species of this genera, C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides, can occur on apple fruits. The species cause significant economic losses on apple fruits after harvest, during storage, transport and marketing. Scientific community faces confusion in defining precise systematic position of this genera, as well as in identification to the species level and lower categories. Conventionalviiiphytopathological methods do not provide precise identification to the species level. Thus, molecular approaches are taking the lead in Colletotrichum spp. identification. Post-harvest pathogens are mainly managed by chemical fungicides. Due to adverse toxicological properties and resistance occurrence, use of chemical fungicides is being reduced, and their application after harvest is prohibited in most countries. Therefore, studies regarding detection of microorganisms and naturally synthetized substances with a potential for application in biological control are necessary for sustainable development of agriculture.The aim of this study was to determine frequency of Colletotrichum spp. on stored apple fruits in the Republic of Serbia as well as reliability of conventional and molecular methods in their identification to the species level and lower categories. Determination of phylogenetic position and molecular distance of the isolates were also set as investigation goals. The aim was also to determine microorganisms and essential oils with antifungal activity against Colletotrichum spp. Defining of cultivation conditions (nutrient medium composition and duration) for the microorganism with the most pronounced antifungal activity which maximize its activity and defining its mode of action were also set as goals.It was found that Colletotrichum spp. are commonly present on stored apple fruits in Vojvodina Province and in western, central and southeastern parts of Serbia with a share of 7.8-10% among other phytopathogenic fungi. Due to susceptibility of C. gloeosporioides to low temperatures, C. acutatum is becoming dominant species of this genus on stored apple fruits. Discrimination between C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides is possible on the basis of phenotypic characteristics of colony (in the case of chromogenus isolates of C. acutatum), conidium length, colony growth at 5 and 35°C and colony growth rate on different media. Conidium shape and width and optimal growth temperature are insufficient criteria for identification to the species level. PCR method using species-specific primers is reliable for identification of C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides. rDNK-ITS sequences of the isolates can be successfully amplified with universal primers, ITS1 and ITS4. Analyses of the sequences alow construction of highly stable phylogenetic trees with distinctively separated C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides clades, and also additional clades of non-chromogenum and chromogenum C. acutatum isolates. S. hygroscopicus, S. aureus, B. cereus, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis strains N146, ST 1/III, Č13 and QSTix713 exhibit antifungal activity against Colletotrichum spp. in vitro and in vivo. S. hygroscopicus ensures fruit protection at the same level as chemical fungicides (trifloxistrobin, boscalid+pyraclostrobine, pyrimethanil+flukvinconazol, captan). Cultivation of S. hygroscopicus in the medium with 15.07 g/l glycerol, 5.28 g/l yeast extract and 0.81 g/l phosphates, for 3-4 days, ensures maximal antifungal activity against Colletotrichum spp. Antifungal activity of S. hygroscopicus is based on production of extracelular, thermostable metabolites. Two-month storage of treated apple fruits at 2±0.5°C does not reduce antifungal activity of S. hygroscopicus. Oregano and thyme essential oils exhibit strong inhibitory effects on Colletotrichum

Os objetivos Colletotrichum deste truncatum de trabalho plantas foram: de i) obter isolados de feijão-caupi e testar sua patogenicidade; ii) estudar a relação entre a concentração de inóculo, o tempo de molhamento foliar e a idade das plantas de feijão-caupi no desenvolvimento da mancha-café causada por C. truncatum; iii) identificar genótipos de feijão-caupi com resistência à mancha-café; iv) quantificar os componentes epidemiológicos da resistência do feijão-caupi à mancha-café. Foram obtidos isolados de C. truncatum de diferentes regiões produtoras de feijão-caupi. O isolado BGR, obtido de Baixa Grande do Ribeiro-PI foi selecionado para os ensaios de resistência por ser o que esporulou abundantemente em meio de cultura BDA. Os isolados de C. truncatum obtidos de feijão-caupi e de soja foram igualmente patogênicos a ambas as culturas. A concentração do inóculo de 10 6 conídios/mL, incubação das plantas, após a inoculação, sob período de molhamento foliar de 48 horas e inoculação das plantas com três semanas de idade, foram as condições ideais para o desenvolvimento da doença. No ensaio de campo em José de Freitas-PI destacaram-se três genótipos classificados como imunes (AR-87- 435, IT89KD-260 e Sanzi-Sambili) e cinco altamente resistentes (TE97-309G-2, MNC99-548F-1, MNC99-542F-7, MNC99-537F-14 e MNC99-537F- 1). No campo em Teresina-PI, nenhum genótipo foi imune e quatro foram altamente resistentes (AR-87-435, IT91K-118-2, IT93K-452-1 e MNC99- 537F-14). Em casa de vegetação detectaram-se 18 genótipos imunes e 29 altamente resistentes. Não houve correlação entre a severidade da mancha- café e a produção de grãos. Vários genótipos foram considerados resistentes e podem ser utilizados como fontes de resistência à mancha-café nos programas de melhoramento de feijão-caupi. Analisando-se o comportamento de cada genótipo, nas diferentes condições testadas, destacaram-se: MNC99-537F-14, Sanzi-Sanbili, MNC99-548F-1, MNC99- 541F-18, TE97-309G-9, BR14-Mulato, Urubuquara-113, TE97-309G-10, TE97309G-13, MNC99-508G-2, MNC99-518G-1, MNC99541F-21, Vita-3, TE97-321G-3, MNC 99-537F-9, IT81D-1228-14, TE97-411-1F-9, TE97-411- 1F-16, MNC99-537F-7, MNC99-552F-1, IT98K-1101-5, MNC99-537F-4, MNC99-541F-6, IT93K-452-1, IT91K-118-2 e AR-87-435. A severidade da doença foi o componente epidemiológico que melhor discriminou os genótipos de feijão-caupi quanto às reações de resistência a C. truncatum, os demais componentes usados não foram eficientes. A resistência do cultivar BR14-Mulato (testemunha resistente) caracterizou-se por um maior período latente (PL), reduzido número de lesões com acérvulos (NLA) e grau de severidade e menor valor de área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença (AACPD). O cultivar BR3-Tracuateua (testemunha suscetível) apresentou menor período de incubação (PI) e PL, maior AACPD e grau de severidade.
The objectives of this work were: i) to obtain isolates of Colletotrichum truncatum from cowpea plants and to test their pathogenicity ii) to study the relationship among the inoculum concentration, the dew period and the cowpea plants' age for disease development; iii) to identify cowpea genotypes resistant to C. truncatum; iv) to quantify the epidemic components of the cowpea resistance to C. truncatum. Colletotrichum truncatum from different cowpea production areas were isolated. The BGR isolated, obtained from Baixa Grande do Ribeiro-PI, was selected to be studied due to its better sporulation in BDA culture medium. The C. truncatum isolates from cowpea and soybean were equally pathogenic to both crops. Three weeks of age, 10 6 conidium/mL and 48 hours of dew were the ideal conditions of dew period, conidial concentration and cowpea plants' age for disease development. In a cultivated cowpea field, in José de Freitas- PI, three immune (AR-87-435, IT89KD-260 and Sanzi-Sambili) and five highly resistant (TE97-309G-2, MNC99-548F-1, MNC99-542F-7, MNC99- 537F-14 and MNC99-537F-1) genotypes stood out. In the Teresina-PI field, four genotypes were highly resistant (AR-87-435, IT91K-118-2, IT93K-452-1 and MNC99-537F-14). Under greenhouse conditions 18 immune and 29 highly resistant genotypes were observed. No correlation was found among the disease severity and grain production. Several genotypes by being considered resistant can be used as resistance sources to C. truncatum in the cowpea improvement programs. For most of the environments and evaluated traits the genotypes MNC99-537F-14, Sanzi-Sanbili, MNC99- 548F-1, MNC99-541F-18, TE97-309G-9, BR14-Mulato, Urubuquara-113, TE97-309G-10, TE97309G-13, MNC99-508G-2, MNC99-518G-1, MNC99541F-21, Vita-3, TE97-321G-3, MNC 99-537F-9, IT81D-1228-14, TE97-411-1F-9, TE97-411-1F-16, MNC99-537F-7, MNC99-552F-1, IT98K- 1101-5, MNC99-537F-4, MNC99-541F-6, IT93K-452-1, IT91K-118-2 and AR- 87-435 stood out. The disease severity was an efficient epidemic component to discriminate the resistance reaction of cowpea genotypes to C. truncatum but others used components had low efficiency. The BR14-Mulato genotype resistance was characterized by a higher latent period (LP), reduced number of lesions with acervulus (NLA), severity and area below the disease progress curve (ABDPC). The susceptible BR3-Tracuateua genotype showed lower incubation period and lower LP, higher ABDPC and severity degree.

The number of nuclei in the conidia, the morphology of the apressoria and the size of the conidia were evaluated in the morphological aspect. Nutritional requirements were studied in the auxanographic aspect. The pathogenicity was evaluated on detached bolls and seedlings of two cultivars of cotton plant: Nu-15 and IAC-17. Conidia of both fungi are uninucleated and the morphology of their appressoria is similar. Regarding the size of the conidia the fungi are different. The fungus responsible for the ramulosis can have conidia with a lenght larger than 16 µm while all the others conidia from the agent that produces anthracnosis are smoller than 16 µm. Auxanographically the two fungi are also different: The fungus responsible for the ramulosis is deficient in asparagin or aspartic acid, while the responsible for the anthracnosis is auxoautotrophic for gowth factors. The fungi were similar in pathogenicity in detached bolls of the IAC-17 and seedlings of Nu-15 and IAC-17 of cotton. The fungi were different in pathogenecity in detached bolls of Nu-15. The fungus responsible for the anthracnosis was more pathogenic than the responsible for the ramulosis in this cultivar

A Podridão Amarga (PA) e a Mancha Foliar de Glomerella (MFG) estão entre as doenças de maior importância na cultura da macieira, pelo rápido progresso dos sintomas e elevada susceptibilidade da cultivar "Gala", uma das mais consumidas no mundo. O presente trabalho objetivou determinar os grupos de compatibilidade vegetativa (GCVs) de isolados brasileiros e uruguaios de Colletotrichum spp. de PA e MFG e monitorar a formação de tubos de anastomose conidial (TACs) in vitro e in vivo. OsGCVs foram determinados pelo pareamento em Meio Mínimo (MM) de mutantes defectivos na via de assimilação de nitrogênio. Os mutantes foram gerados em meio BDA+KClO3 e mantidos em MM. Os isolados foram classificados em mesmo GCV quando seu pareamento resultou na formação de heterocárion. Isolados de complexos ou espécies diferentes nunca perteceram ao mesmo GCV. Somente um isolado brasileiro de MFG foi incluido em mesmo GCV que isolados uruguaios de fruto Quatro e nove grupos foram encontrados dentre os isolados uruguaios e brasileiros, respectivamente. Em três GCVs, foram incluidos tanto isolados de PA quanto de MFG. Para monitorar o desenvolvimento de TACs e estruturas pré-infectivas, distribuiram-se gotas de 10 e de 20µL de supensão conidial (1x106 conídios/mL) sobre lâminas de poliestireno e superfície de folhas destacadas de macieira. O desenvolvimento foi examinado microscopicamente a cada duas horas de incubação a 25°C,entre 14 e 24h e após 48h, sobre poliestireno e folhas destacadas, respectivamente. O percentual e tempo de máxima germinação, formação e melanização de apressórios foram avaliados. Os TACs foram quantificados e categorizados conforme a conexão em três tipos: tubo-tubo(t-t), tubo-conídio (t-c) e conídio-conídio (c-c). Isolados de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides apresentaram elevada germinação e formação mais precoce de apressórios melanizados. As conexões do tipot-t foram encontradas em menor frequência, para todos os isolados testados. As conexões do tipo c-c foram as mais frequentes em isolados de Colletotrichum acutatum. Dentres todos os isolados analisados, os que apresentaram maior percentual de conexões t-t, também formaram mais t-c. Isolados de Colletotrichum fragariae e C. gloeosporioides de folha nunca desenvolveram TACs sobre poliestireno ou folhas destacadas. Aqueles que formaram TACs sobre poliestireno também o fizeram sobre a superfície do hospedeiro. Foram observados vários núcleos através dos TACs e alguns conídios com nenhum e mais de um núcleo. Em geral, populações de Colletotrichum spp. do Brasil e do Uruguai foram aparentemente distintas, sugerindo que estas mantiveram-se separadas. Os processos de formação de TACs e apressórios parecem ser antagônicos. O desenvolvimento de TACs é um processo comum para C. gloeosporioides de frutos e C. acutatum. A possível contribuição dos TACs para aumento da variabilidade de Colletotrichum spp. é discutida.
Abstract: Bitter Rot (BR) and Glomerella leaf spot (GLS) are amongst the major apple diseases, due to the fast progress of symptoms and high susceptibility of the cultivar "Gala", one of most worldwide consumed. The present study aimed to determinate the vegetative compatibility groups of brazilian and uruguayan strains of Colletotrichum spp causing BR and GLS as well as to monitor the development of conidial anastomosis tubes (CATs) in vivo and in vitro. VCGs were determined by pairing mutants defective in nitrogen assimilation pathway on Minimal Medium (MM). Mutants were generated on PDA+ KClO3 medium and kept on MM. Strains were classified in same VCG when pairing led to heterokaryon formation. Strains of different complexes or species never belonged to the same VCG. Only one GLS-brazilian strain was includedin the VCG of fruit uruguayan strains. Four and nine groups were found among uruguayan and brazilian strains, respectively. In three VCGs, both PA and MFG strains were included. In order to monitor the development of CATs and pre-infective structures, drops of 10 and 20 µL of conidial suspension (1x106 conídios/mL) were distributed on polystyrene slides and detached apple leaves surfaces. The development was microscopically examined at every two hours of incubation at 25°C, from 14 to 24h and at 48h, on polystyrene and detached leaves, respectively. Percentage and time of maximum germination, apressoria development and melanization were evaluated. CATs were quantified and categorized into three types, according to the kind of connections: tube-tube (t-t),tube-conidium (t-c) and conidium-conidium (c-c). Strains of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides showed a high percentage of germination and early formation of melanized appressoria. The t-t connections were less frequent for all strains. The c-c connections were the most frequent type for Colletotrichum acutatum strains. Among all tested strains, those showing a higher percentage of t-t- connections, also formed more t-c. Strains of Colletotrichum fragariae and C. gloeosporiodes from leaves never developed CATs, neither on polystyrene nor on detached leaves.Those that formed CATs on polystyrene also did it on host surface. Many nuclei were observed through CATs, such as many conidia with none and more than one nucleus. Generally, populations of Colletotrichum spp. from Brazil and Uruguay were apparently distinct, suggesting that they were kept isolated. Appressoria melanization and CATs development seem to be antagonist processes. Formation of CATs is a common processin C. gloeosporioides from fruits and C. acutatum. The possible contribution of CATS and its consequence for increasing variability in Colletotrichum ssp. is discussed.

Full textA antracnose do feijoeiro é causada pelo fungo Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc & Magnus) Scribner, sendo considerada uma das principais doenças que atacam a cultura, podendo ocasionar perdas e diminuição da produtividade final e uma das alternativas de controle mais utilizadas é a indução química e genética de resistência. O uso do silício na agricultura apresenta vários benefícios, tais como: diminuição de toxidez por metais, alívio do estresse salino e da falta de água, aumento da resistência a ventos fortes, aumento da resistência a patógenos e insetos, entre outros. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o efeito do silício como indutor de resistência à antracnose do feijoeiro, utilizando diferentes fontes no recobrimento de sementes. Foram utilizadas quatro fontes de silício: cinza de casca de arroz carbonizada, pó de rocha produto comercial Potenccy®, o produto comercial Supa Sílica, Agrichem® e o produto comercial Silicon SiO2, Rigrantec®. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos: no experimento 1 foram testadas as fontes de silício aplicadas em sementes da cultivar IPR Graúna, suscetível a antracnose, através da avaliação sanitária e fisiológica das sementes, e foi realizada a análise histológica das plântulas e do tegumento das sementes para detectar a presença de silício. A fonte de silício que apresentou as melhores respostas para o controle da antracnose, no experimento 1, foi utilizada no experimento 2, que foi realizado em campo, com duas cultivares de feijão suscetíveis a antracnose (IPR Graúna e IPR Uirapuru), onde foram avaliadas a emergência e sintomas nas plântulas. Foi possível identificar silício nas folhas primárias de plântulas de feijão, somente para o tratamento com silício oriundo do produto comercial Silicon SiO2, Rigrantec®. A aplicação de silício reduz efeito negativo da inoculação com Colletotrichum lindemuthianum nas sementes de feijão.

Os experimentos foram instalados em dois locais: Fazenda experimental da FCAV/UNESP Campus Jaboticabal-SP em dezembro de 2004 e Embrapa Milho e Sorgo - CNPMS Sete Lagoas, MG, em janeiro de 2005 e em maio de 2005, em casa de vegetação do CNPMS. De acordo com os dados obtidos no experimento, existe evidência da existência de raças de Colletotrichum graminicola entre os isolados. No ensaio de Jaboticabal, os menores valores de AACPD foram observados nos genótipos BRS 3003 (híbrido triplo), seguido do BRS 2020 (híbrido duplo). Em Sete Lagoas, os menores valores de AACPD foram para os híbridos BRS 3003 e CMS 101142 (híbrido simples). Em geral, o híbrido BRS 3003 apresentou os menores valores da AACPD, sugerindo que a maior variabilidade genética (intercruzamento de três genótipos) desse material conferiu maior proteção contra o patógeno.
This research had as an objective to evaluate genotype of corn to see the resistance to Colletotrichum graminicola, in field conditions and greenhouse conditions, through artificial inoculations with isolated pathogens obtained in locations where the disease is prevelant. The research was setup in two locations: Fazenda Experimental da FCAV/Unesp Câmpus Jaboticabal - SP in December 2004 and Embrapa Milho e Sorgo/CNPMS Sete Lagoas - MG in January 2005 and may 2005 in the greenhouse of CNPMS. According to the data obtained in the experiment, there is evidence of the existence to races of Colletotrichum graminicola among the isolates. In the plots of Jaboticabal, the lowest values of AUDPC were observed in the genotypes BRS 3003 (triple hybrid), followed by BRS 2020 (double hydrid). In Sete Lagoas, the lowest values of AUDPC were from the hybrids BRS 3003 and CMS 101142 (simple hybrid). In general the hybrid BRS 3003 showed the lowest values of AUDPC, suggesting that the greater genetic variability (intercrossing of three genotypes) of this material was better protection against the pathogen.

Full textThe postbloom fruit drop (PFD) is a disease caused by Colletotrichum acutatum responsible for causing great damage to citrus crops in Brazil. The disease appears only in flower buds 8 mm in length or greater, leading to orange lesions in petals, necrotic lesions on the stigma, promoting the young fruit drop and the retention of the calyx and peduncle, which is called buttons. In this context, this study aimed to: observe the fungus penetration mode into the host Citrus sinensis \'Valência\' and the later stages of colonization; study the presence of preformed structural and chemical factors to explain why the fungus cannot infect floral buds with less than 8 mm in length; characterize anatomically the symptom \"buttons\" and injured stigmas; investigate the ultrastructural changes in tissues of inoculated petals; analyze whether there is the establishment of a quiescent infection in leaf tissues, analyze pollen grains after inoculation in vivo and in vitro with the fungus. Healthy buds, petals and stigmas with and without lesions, were processed and analyzed using conventional light and electron microscopy techniques. Leaves and pollen grains were also inoculated and analyzed with light microscopy. It was developed a new staining method for fungal-infected plant tissues. The resistance of flower buds smaller than 8mm may be associated with preformed structural and chemical barriers. These buttons display the apex with interspersed papillae, with crystals in mesophyll and substomatic chamber and oil cavities, which are located very close to each other on the abaxial surface. In 8mm and 12mm flower buds, the papilas in the apex become weakly interspaced, the crystals are not observed and there is the increase of the distance between the oil cavities. The papillose cells are osmophores. In the symptom \"button\", it is noted in the abscission of the ovary, an installation of wound meristem. There is also the lignification in the pith of receptacle and pedicel that can be associated with the retention of these structures in the plant. In infected petals, it was found that C. acutatum can penetrate intra and intercelullar or via stomata. The fungus may grow subcuticular and intramural and colonize all tissues of petal. The new staining technique developed has proved very useful for histopathological analysis. The fungus is closely associated with vascular tissues. The acervulli occur on both surfaces of petals. The cuticle in the later stages of the lesion is altered, i.e., there is loss of striated ornamentation and increased deposition of lipophilic material. The synthesis of lipophilic materials involves rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and plastids. Vesicles from dictyosomes and multivesicular bodies were observed throughout the cell wall and are associated with the deposit of lipophilic material in the cuticle. There is the formation of protective layer over the stigma damaged area. The fungus shows chemotropism and grows toward the pollen infecting it 24 hours after inoculation. It is suggested that C. acutatum can use pollen grains for dispersal. After 48 hours of inoculation, the leaves have germinated conidia with appressoria.

Full textAnthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum sublineolum, is the most important disease of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Results in the literature report that this fungus exhibits conidial dimorphism when grown in synthetic media. Falcate conidia are produced in solid media whereas oval conidia are produced in liquid media. Because information on the biology of oval conidia is scarce, this research aimed to initially study the stages of development of falcate and oval conidia of C. sublineolum on artificial surfaces through light microscopy and in sorghum leaves through scanning and transmission electron microscopy. And, further on, to examine the infection process of falcate, as well as oval conidia of C. sublineolum in sorghum cultivars, to determine the difference in the infection process between the two conidia and the reaction of the cultivars in the face of colonization by both types of conidia. On artificial surfaces, similarly to falcate conidia, oval conidia adhere, germinate and form infection structures. Highly vacuolated, thick hyphae are formed from the germination of falcate conidia on these surfaces and oval conidia are formed on the apical and lateral regions of these hyphae. Oval conidia, when inoculated on sorghum leaves, germinate and with 24 hours form the appressorium, characterizing the process of adhesion of this conidium. Acervuli with setae containing falcate conidia enveloped in mucilage were formed by the infection of oval conidia on the foliar surface, characterizing the infective process of this conidium. Oval conidia exhibit similarities to falcate conidia of C. sublineolum in pre-penetration and penetration events, however, in the infection process falcate conidia produce penetration hyphae in superior proportion to oval conidia. Infection vesicles are formed in the epidermal cells of the host, under the appressoria originated from the germination of either falcate or oval conidia. Oval conidia were infective and capable of developing a series of infection structures, such as the germ tube, appressorium, penetration pore, infection vesicle, primary and secondary hyphae, thus completing the disease cycle. However, more precise investigations are extremely important to clarify the true biological role that these conidia have in the establishment and dissemination of the disease.

Full textThe sensitivity monitoring to fungicides provide important information to define disease management strategies and avoid unnecessary fungicide applications. The objectives of this study were: i) evaluate the efficiency of the colorimetric microtiter method to determine the sensitivity of the fungus Corynespora cassiicola and perform sensitivity monitoring of fungus toward demethylation inhibitors (DMI), methyl benzimidazole carbamates (MBC) and the quinone outside inhibitors (QoI) fungicides; ii) Perform morphological characterization and pathogenicity of fungus Colletotrichum spp. species isolated from soybean plants and the sensitivity monitoring of fungi toward fungicides DMI, MBC and QoI. To evaluate the efficiency of the colorimetric microtiter method was compared EC50 values (half-maximal effective concentration) to isolates of C. cassiicola obtained by mycelial inhibition growth method with values obtained by microtiter method. The EC50 obtained by microtiter method presented a correlation of 0.90 and 0.88 (p<0.05) with values obtained by mycelial inhibition growth assay for carbendazim and prothioconazole, respectively. On sensitivity monitoring the EC50s of C. cassiicola for carbendazim (MBC) ranged from 0.0045 to 14.27 μg mL-1and 0.69 to 2.66 μg mL-1 respectively for the isolated collected in PR and MT; for pyraclostrobin (QoI) ranged from 4.17 to 44.91 μg mL-1 and 0.29 to 20.43 μg mL-1, respectively, for isolates of PR and MT; for prothioconazole (DMI) ranged from 0.0033 to 45.11 μg mL-1 (mean 4.84 μg mL-1) and 0.0044 to 17.70 μg mL-1 (median 1.90 μg mL-1) for isolates of PR and MT, respectively. In the morphological analysis of the isolates Colletotrichum spp., the mycelial growth rate index (IVCM) was evaluated; colors, border and reverse colony staining in PDA culture medium; presence of perithecium, acervulum and conidial mass; size and shape of the spores classified as acute, rounded and curved; and severity in leaves highlighted. The 87 isolates of Colletotrichum were classified as belonging to Glomerella glycines species or the anamorphic C. truncatum, these 29 were pathogenic to soybean. Data cluster analysis separates the isolates in 15 and 16 groups for experiment 1 and 2 respectively, and it is not possible to differentiate the isolates of Colletotrichum spp. as pathogenic or non pathogenic to soybean, taking into account their own qualitative and quantitative attributes. Only pathogenic isolates were used in the sensitivity monitoring test. The CE50s for C. truncatum ranged from 1.89 to 12.93 μg mL-1 for carbendazim (MBC); 0.36 to 5.39 μg mL-1 for pyraclostrobin (IQo) and 0.051 to 4.67 μg mL-1 (mean 1.39 μg mL-1) for prothioconazole (MDI).

Resumo: A inativação fotodinâmica (PDI) consiste em um tipo de intervenção baseado na associação de luz, fotossensibilizador e oxigênio molecular (O2), que resulta na destruição de um alvo biológico específico. Dentre os fotossensibilizadores empregados na PDI, 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(N-metilpiridino-4-il)porfirina (Tetra-Py+ ) tem demonstrado ser efetivo na fotoinativação de diversos micro-organismos. Colletotrichum graminicola é um fitopatógeno que causa antracnose foliar e do colmo em milho (Zea mays L.). C. graminicola é altamente resistente em condições ambientais, sendo também resistente a fungicidas comumente empregados na agricultura. Dessa forma, a antracnose tem causado impacto importante nas culturas de milho do Brasil. Além disso, o uso abusivo de fungicidas na cultura do milho representa um problema de saúde pública. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliação da fotoinativação de C. graminicola utilizando Tetra-Py +, além de quatro derivados porfirínicos com ambos os grupos N-metil-piridina catiônica meso-ligados e grupos fenil meso-ligados (Tri-Py+, Di -cis-Py+, Di-trans-Py+ e Mono-Py+). Com esse propósito, os experimentos foram realizados empregando suspensões de conídios padronizadas a 105 e 104 conídios / mL. As concentrações dos fotossensibilizadores foram 5, 10, 15 e 25 M e o tempo de irradiação máximo foi ajustado para 20 minutos. Além dos ensaios de fotoinativação, três tipos de experimentos controles foram executados simultaneamente: controle claro, branco e controle escuro. A fotoestabilidade das porfirinas e a produção de oxigênio singlete foram determinadas para todos os compostos. Entre as porfirinas avaliadas, apenas o derivado Di-cis-Py+ demonstrou toxicidade no escuro e, assim, não foi utilizado para estudos de PDI. As outras porfirinas evidenciaram propriedades fotoinativadoras em diferentes níveis, que foram relacionadas com o número de cargas e sua distribuição na estrutura da molécula. Estas características estruturais também refletiram na fotoestabilidade e produção de oxigênio singlete. As porfirinas Tri-Py+ e Di-trans-Py+ demonstraram os melhores resultados, ocorrendo fotoinativação completa na concentração de 5 M, com um tempo de irradiação de cinco minutos. A porfirina Tetra-Py+ mostrou uma propriedade fotoinativadora mais branda, para a qual a fotoinativação total foi evidente na concentração de 50 M, para o mesmo período de cinco minutos irradiação. Por sua vez, a porfirina Mono- Py+ foi o derivado menos eficaz (25 M, 20 minutos), inativando totalmente apenas a suspensão de conídios menos concentrada. Como conclusão, a fotoinativação de C. graminicola empregando meso-tetra-arilporfirinas catiônicas como fotossensibilizadores ocorreu em níveis significativos, demonstrando a possibilidade de utilização desses compostos em associação com a luz solar para inativação do micro-organismo. Esse processo pode contribuir para o controle da antracnose na cultura do milho no Brasil. Palavras-chave: Porfirinas. Síntese química. Inativação fotodinâmica. Colletotrichum.
Abstract: Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a type of intervention based on the association of light, photosensitizer and molecular oxygen (O2), which results in the destruction of a specific biological target. Among the photosensitizers utilized in PDI, 5,10,15,20- tetrakis(N-methyl pyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (Tetra-Py+ ) has demonstrated to be effective in the photoinactivation of diverse microorganisms. Colletotrichum graminicola is a fungal pathogen that causes leaf and stalk anthracnose in maize (Zea mays). C. graminicola is highly resistant under environmental conditions, being also resistant to fungicides commonly used in agriculture. In this way, anthracnose has caused an important impact in Brazil's maize crops. In addition, the abusive use of fungicides in maize cultivation represents a public health issue. Thus, the objective of the present work was the evaluation of C. graminicola photoinactivation using Tetra-Py+, plus four porphyrin-derivatives having both meso-linked N-methyl-pyridine cationic centers and meso-linked phenyl groups (Tri-Py+, Di-trans-Py+, Di-cis-Py+ and Mono-Py+). For this purpose, experiments were performed with standardized conidial suspensions at 105 and 104 conidia/mL. The concentrations of the photosensitizers were 5, 10, 15 and 25 ?M and the maximum irradiation time was set to 20 minutes. In addition to the photoinactivation assays, three types of control experiments were simultaneously executed: blank, light control and dark control. Porphyrin photo-stability and production of oxygen singlet were also determined for all compounds. Among the porphyrins herein evaluated, only Di-cis- Py+ derivative demonstrated toxicity in the dark and thereby it was not employed for PDI studies. The other porphyrins presented photoinactivating properties at varying levels that were related to the number of charges and their distribution in the molecule structure. These structural features also reflected in the photo-stability and singlet oxygen production. Porphyrins Tri-Py+ and Di-trans-Py+ demonstrated the best results, giving complete photoinactivation at 5 ?M with an irradiation time of five minutes. Porphyrin Tetra-Py+ showed a milder photoinactivation property, which was complete at 50 ?M with the same irradiation time. Porphyrin Mono-Py+ was the least effective derivative (25 ?M, twenty minutes), resulting in total inactivation only for the less concentrated conidial suspension. In conclusion, the photoinactivation of C.. graminicola using cationic meso-substituted porphyrins occurred in significant levels, demonstrated the possibility of using these compounds in combination with sunlight for inactivation of microorganism. This process may contribute to the control of maize anthracnose qin Brazil. Key-words: Porphyrins. Chemical synthesis. Photodynamic inactivation. Colletotrichum

Full textCoffee is one of the most valuable agricultural products in world trade being crucial to the economies of many developing countries. However its production is constrained by a number of major diseases, including Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) caused by Colletotrichum kahawae Waller & Bridge. Currently CBD is limited to Africa, constituting a serious threat to other coffee growing countries in other continents. This disease is responsible for up to 80% of crop losses, if no control measures are applied. The most widely used method to control this disease involves the application of fungicides. However some institutions in some coffee growing countries are developing breeding programs for the creation of resistant varieties to this pathogen. In this work resistance of different tetraploid interspecific coffee hybrids were characterized by pre-screening tests and several genotypes with different levels of resistance to some C. kahawae isolates were selected. Additional observations were made in hypocotyls inoculated with different isolates of C. kahawae allowed the characterization of dilatory resistance in coffee genotypes classified as susceptible. Histological studies were also made in hypocotyls with the aim of evaluating their behaviour compared with other known genotypes.

O primeiro evento para a penetração em algumas espécies de Colletotrichum, inicia com a adesão do conídio e germinação na superfície da planta hospedeira, produzindo tubo germinativo e então formando o apressório, que penetra diretamente na cutícula. Estudos anteriores têm identificado em Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, genes denominados cap, que são unicamente expressos durante a formação do apressório depois de 4 horas de exposição do conídio à presença da cera da cutícula do abacate (Persea gratissima). O objetivo deste trabalho foi amplificar o gene da patogenicidade cap20 e analisar a variação deste gene intraespecificamente em isolados de C. gloeosporioides provenientes de diferentes hospedeiros. A variabilidade genética foi acessada usando marcadores de RFLPITS e intron (primer EI1) e pelo método de agrupamento UPGMA. Primers para o gene cap20 foram construídos a partir de seqüências selecionadas do GenBank (National Center of Biotechnology Information, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) utilizando o programa Primer 3. A análise dos dendrogramas revelou que o marcador RFLP-ITS foi capaz de separar as espécies C. gloeosporioides, C. acutatum e C. sublineolum. Em outra mão, esses resultados também mostraram que o primer EI1 de Intron Splice Site evidenciou maior variabilidade genética que o RFLP-ITS, porém não separou as espécies. Os primers construídos nomeados P1 e P2 para o gene cap20 foram eficientes para amplificar C. gloeosporioides (exceto para cinco isolados de manga e um isolado de pimentão), C. boninense, C. dematium, C. capsici e C.gossypii var. cephalosporioides, mas não houve amplificação para C. graminicola, C. acutatum, C. sublineolum e C. coccodes, indicando que este gene pode apresentar diferenças na estrutura entre os isolados de C. gloeosporioides relacionada ao hospedeiro e que este gene também está presente nas outras espécies citadas de Colletotrichum. A digestão com a enzima MspI para os isolados de C. gloeosporioides que apresentaram amplificação não evidenciou diferenças na estrutura do gene cap20

In the current study the Colletotrichum species isolated from mango in Pernambuco state in Brazil are described, as well as their distribution in different plant tissues. The Colletotrichum isolates are characterized through cultural, morphological, patogenicty and vivirulence data, and from phylogenetic analyses based on a partial sequence of the gene glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH). There was significant difference in isolament frequency among sites and plant tissues. In the locality of Aldeia (site III) it was observed the highest isolation frequency. The old limb was the part of plant most colonized in a higher number of sites. Colletotrichum asianum, C. fructicola, C. cliviae, C. boninense and two unidentified species were found as endophyte in mango, and C. asianum was prevalent over the other. All isolates were pathogenic in mango fruits. The phylogenetic analysis revealed groupings that were congruent with morphological characters, but did not group isolates according to phenotypic characters. There was no distribution pattern of species in different areas, neither in plant tissues.
No presente estudo são relatadas as espécies de isolados de Colletotrichum endofíticos associados a mangueiras no Estado de Pernambuco/Brasil, e sua distribuição nos diferentes tecidos da planta em cinco diferentes áreas. Isolados foram caracterizados cultural e morfologicamente, quanto à patogenicidade e virulência, e através de inferências filogenéticas baseadas na sequência parcial do gene gliceraldeído-3-fosfato desidrogenase (GPDH). Houve diferença significativa na freqüência de isolamento de Colletotrichum em função da área de coleta e do tecido da planta. Na localidade de Aldeia (área III) foi observada a maior freqüência de isolamento de Colletotrichum. O limbo maduro foi a parte da planta mais colonizada por Colletotrichum em um maior número de áreas. Colletotrichum asianum, C. fructicola, C. cliviae, C. boninense e duas espécies não identificadas ocorrem como endófitas em mangueira, e C. asianum foi prevalente sobre as demais. Todos os isolados foram patogênicos em frutos de manga. A análise filogenética revelou agrupamentos que foram congruentes com os caracteres morfológicos analisados, porém não agrupou isolados conforme características fenotípicas. Também não foi observado padrão de distribuição das espécies nas diferentes áreas, nem nos tecidos vegetais.

Full textThe anthracnose, which has as causal agents the fungi Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum, is one of the main diseases that affect guava plants. In Brazil, there are not fungicides registered for the control of the disease in post-harvest conditions. This aspect and the concern about human health and the environment, made increase researches involving the use of alternative agents to control diseases. In a previous study, it was shown that the yeast S. cerevisiae exhibited antagonistic activity in vitro against several pathogens, including C. gloeosporioides. This inhibition was attributed to the production of a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the alcohols 3-methyl-1-butanol (3M1B) and 2-methyl-1-butanol (2M1B) were identified as the main ones, responsible for the activity. Considering the importance of post-harvest management and the potential use of VOCs in the anthracnose control, the objectives of this study were the evaluation of the in vitro effect of 3M1B and 2M1B VOCs identified from S. cerevisiae on the development of Colletotrichum, the elucidation of some of the possible mechanisms acting during the inhibitory process and the evaluation of the use of VOCs in postharvest anthracnose control of guava fruits. An increased inhibition was observed in mycelial growth of the pathogens as the concentration of the compounds increased, reaching 100% of inhibition in the dose 1L mL-1 of air. The lowest values of MIC50 for C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum were 0.34 and 0.31, respectively when treated with the compound 3M1B and the mixture 3M1B:2M1B (10:1; v/v). Both pathogens regained growth when transferred to a new medium in the absence of VOCs, thus characterizing the fungistatic nature of the inhibition. The sporulation of C. acutatum was also completely inhibited at all tested doses. There were negative effects on the production of fungal biomass by C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum, being 64.9% and 55.4% lower on average, respectively, after exposure to VOCs. Regarding the possible mechanisms actinng in the inhibitory process, the results indicated that the volatiles could increase the permeability of the plasma membrane, resulting in the loss of electrolytes. It was observed higher levels of peroxidation of membrane lipids when exposed to volatiles, suggesting a oxidative stress process. There were not significant alterations in protein content of the pathogen mycelium. The potential use of 3M1B in postharvest anthracnose control was evaluated in fruits inoculated with C. acutatum and subsequently treated for 10h with the volatile. The incidence and severity of disease in the treated fruits showed values 5 and 6.25 higher, respectively, when compared to the control treatment on the last day of evaluation. The effect of treatment was evaluated on the physico-chemical quality of the fruits, and no changes were observed in any of the parameters. The VOCs used in this study are able to interfere on the development of C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum, but, under the experimental conditions of the work, the VOCs were not adequate to control the anthracnose of guava.

Destes genótipos, vinte e seis foram selecionados e inoculados em 3 estádios fenológicos (V1/V2; R4/R5 e R5/R6), com 4 raças fisiológicas de C. lindemuthianum, sendo avaliada a proporção de reações resistentes de acordo com a idade da planta. Reações caracterizadas com base em uma escala de notas de severidade de 1 a 9, permitiram calcular os índices de resistência dos genótipos e da virulência das raças. A análise fenética dos dados de virulência foi obtida a partir da construção de uma matriz, considerando as reações incompatíveis (0) e as reações compatíveis (1). A variabilidade em germoplasma de feijão não se mostrou coerente com a década de lançamento, local origem e pool gênico. Não foi observado aumento significativo na proporção de genótipos resistentes entre as décadas de 80 e 90, assim como não houve incremento de alguns genes de virulência especialmente dispersos e abundantes. Genótipos que apresentaram índice de resistência superior a 80% não continham genes Mexicanos (Co-4 e Co-5). Variabilidade em linhagens não se mostrou ligada à estrutura populacional de C. lindemuthianum. A análise fenética mostrou que maior diversidade intrínseca foi observada entre os genótipos locais de feijoeiro comum. Para interações específicas entre genótipos e raças, foi observada variação na resistência relacionada com o envelhecimento da planta.

Full textFungos do gênero Colletotrichum são considerados um dos mais importantes economicamente na Fitopatologia. Espécies desse gênero são encontradas amplamente disseminadas e estão associadas a diversas espécies de plantas hospedeiras. Em regiões tropicais e subtropicais, espécies dos complexos C. gloeosporioides e C. acutatum são a principal causa das antracnoses em pré e póscolheita de frutos e consequentemente causam significantivas perdas. Ainda há muitos aspectos a serem compreendidos sobre o gênero Colletotrichum, como a biologia e a sistemática. A acurada identificação das espécies associadas a antracnoses é de suma importância para o estabelecimento de estratégias de controle. No entanto, apesar dos grandes avanços na sistemática desse gênero, complexos de espécies como aquelas citadas acima são tratados de modo genérico no Brasil. Estes complexos de espécies foram recentemente estudados e considerados geneticamente e geograficamente variáveis. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar isolados de Colletotrichum spp. associados a diferentes frutos e regiões do Brasil por meio de análise filogenética. Para análise multilocus, foram utilizadas sequências parciais dos genes ITS, GAPDH, CHS-1, TUB2 and CAL ou HIS3. Sequências de espécies-tipos disponíveis no GenBank e de isolados de diferentes países foram adicionadas ao conjunto de dados. Com base nos resultados obtidos por meio de filogenia multilocus, seis isolados do complexo C. gloeosporiodes e cinco do complexo C. acutatum foram escolhidos para testes de patogenicidade cruzada. A espécie C. siamense, pertencente ao complexo C. gloeosporioides, foi a mais variável geneticamente e quanto ao hospedeiro de origem. Diferentemente, apenas isolados obtidos de manga se agruparam no clado C. asianum. Isolados agrupados neste clado não infectaram abacate e um dos isolados (CPC 20969) causou sintomas apenas em manga. No clado C. fructicola, isolados coletados no Brasil se agruparam em um subclado e parecem representar um grupo geneticamente distinto. A espécie C. theobromicola é relatada pela primeira vez em acerola. Foram identificadas três novas espécies, C. polyphialidicum, C. paranaense e C. pruni, pertencentes ao complexo C. acutatum. Isolados brasileiros agrupados no clado C. nymphaeae parecem representar um grupo geneticamente distinto, todos se agruparam em um subclado. Isolados do complexo C. acutatum utilizados no teste de patogenicidade provocaram sintomas nos hospedeiros testados, porém, em algumas inoculações, as lesões foram maiores no hospedeiro de origem.

O índice de doença para as quatro cultivares e 21 linhagens avaliadas variou de 20,0 a 57,1 e a AACPD de 567 a 1627. Ficaram evidenciados dois grupos distintos, um formado por duas cultivares e nove linhagens suscetíveis e o outro por duas cultivares e 12 linhagens resistentes. De modo geral, o ID apresentou crescimento linear para as 25 cultivares e, ou linhagens avaliadas. A linhagem CNPA 94-101 empregada como padrão de suscetibilidade apresentou valores médios de INC=83,4, ID=57,1 e AACPD=1.627,7 sendo, portanto a mais suscetível. Por outro lado, a linhagem CNPA 96-08 apresentou INC=37,8, ID=20,0 e AACPD=567,7 sendo a mais suscetível. Dentre as cultivares comerciais a IAC 22 foi a mais suscetível, com ID=47,3 e a CNPA Precoce2, utilizada como padrão de resistência foi a mais resistente, com ID=28,9. Foi observado que os dez isolados utilizados apresentaram grande virulência, que variou em função do genótipo no qual foram inoculados. O isolado MTRM 14, oriundo do Estado do Mato Grosso, foi o menos virulento e o isolado RAV 20, de Minas Gerais, o mais virulento, com ID= 6,36 e ID=46,47, respectivamente. A Linhagem HR 102 e a cultivar ANTARES foram as mais resistentes com ID=18,32 e 19,14, respectivamente. Portanto, ocorreu variabilidade entre os dez isolados estudados quanto à virulência e variação na resistência das cultivares e linhagens de algodão aos isolados. Efetuou-se análise de agrupamento e observou-se a separação de dois grupos distintos de isolados, um mais virulento e outro menos virulento.
The index of the disease (ID) in four cotton cultivars and twenty one line varied from 20 to 57,1; and the AADPC from 567 to 1627. Two distinct group of plants was formed; one group (susceptible) had two cultivars and nine lines, and another (resistant groups) had two cultivars and 12 lines. The ID was linear for all the 25 cultivars and cotton lines evaluated. The line CNPA 94-101, used as a susceptible pattern, had ID=57,1, AADPC=1.627,7 and 83,4 of incidence. But in the trial the most susceptible line was CNPA 96-08 with ID=20,0, AADPC=567,7 and incidence equal to 37,8. Among the comercial cultivars the IAC-22 was the most susceptible, with ID=47,3 whereas CNPA Precoce 2 used as a pattern of resistance was the most resistant line (ID=28,9). The ten isolates of the pathogen used were highly virulent, and varied according to the cotton genotype. The isolate MTRM 14 from Mato Grosso State was the least virulent, and the isolate RAV 20 from Minas Gerais State the most virulent with ID=6,36 and 46,47, respectively. The line HR 102 and the cultivar ANTARES were the most resistant with ID=18,32 and 19,14, respectively. In conclusion it was observed great variability on the population of C. gossypii var. cephalosporioides and great variation on the plant genotype. Two distinct groups of isolate of the pathogen was found, one virulent and another less virulent.

Neste trabalho foram conduzidos experimentos em laboratório, visando estabelecer a patogenicidade de Colletotrichum sp. ao cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.). Isolamentos de Colletotrichum sp. foram feitos a partir de material coletado em quatro estados: Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Espírito Santo e Paraná. A partir dos isolamentos foram obtidas 180 culturas monospóricas, mantidas em sílica-gel, visando à preservação. Entre as 180 culturas inoculadas, em ramos com três rosetas de frutos verdes, houve diferença na incidência observada, tanto nos ramos com ferimento como naqueles sem ferimento, dez dias após a inoculação. A incidência máxima obtida foi de 69,5%, entretanto a testemunha, atomizada com água estéril, também manifestou sintomas e abundante esporulação de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, resultado novamente observado quando da repetição do experimento. Isso gerou dúvidas sobre a eficiência da sanitização dos ramos e frutos verdes coletados no campo. As amostras passaram por um processo de esterilização superficial, utilizado nas etapas para isolamento de organismos endofíticos. Pôde-se observar que, mesmo superficialmente estéreis, os tecidos apresentavam abundante esporulação de C. gloeosporioides após seis dias de incubação em condições assépticas. Testes de patogenicidade foram então realizados, com e sem ferimento, utilizando-se três isolados, os quais foram inoculados em plantas oriundas de cultura de tecido, com três meses de idade, não sendo observados sintomas por mais de 20 dias após a inoculação. Porém, conseguiu-se recuperar o fungo das plantas inoculadas, mesmo depois de lavadas em água corrente, álcool 70% e cloro ativo 2%. Isso mostra que o organismo penetrou nos tecidos, entretanto sem manifestar sintomas. A partir desses resultados, concluiu-se que testes de patogenicidade de C. gloeosporioides devem ser conduzidos em plantas de cultura de tecido, a fim de se assegurar a sanidade do material a ser inoculado, visto que, mesmo após esterilização superficial do tecido, o organismo pode permanecer latente. Neste trabalho, obtiveram- se indícios de que C. gloeosporioides apresenta relação endofítica nos tecidos de cafeeiro (Coffea arabica).
This work had the objective to establish the pathogenicity of Colletotrichum sp to Coffea arabica. Isolations of Colletotrichum sp. were done from material collected in the field in four States: Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Espírito Santo and Paraná. It was obtained 180 monoconidial cultures and maintained in silica-gel, for preservation. Among the 180 inoculated cultures, in branches with 3 rosettes of green fruits, there was difference in the incidence in the wounded and not wounded branches 10 days after the inoculation. The maximum incidence was of 69.5%, however check treatment atomized with sterile water, also manifested symptoms and abundant sporulation of C. gloeosporioides, the same results was observed again when the experiment was repeated. This generated doubts on the efficiency of the sanitization of the branches and green fruits collected in the field. The tissue samples went by a superficial sterilized process, used in the stages to isolate endofitic organisms. It was observed that even superficially sterile, the tissues presented abundant sporulation of C. gloeosporioides after six days of incubation in aseptic conditions. Pathogenicity tests were then accomplished, with and without wound, using three isolates in three months old coffee seedlings of tissue culture. No symptoms observed for more than 20 days after the inoculation. However, the fungus was recovered of the inoculated plants, even after they had been washed in running water, alcohol 70% and active chlorine 2%. However, C. gloeosporioides was isolate from the inoculated tissue, although no symptoms were observed. From these results it was concluded that pathogenicity tests C. gloeosporioides, should be performed in plants from tissue culture, because, even after superficial sterilization of the tissue, the organism can be in the stage latent. In this work it was obtained, indications that C. gloeosporioides presents endofitic relationship in the tissues of Coffea arabica.

Guidoval e Guiricema são municípios tradicionais produtores de cebola na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais. Nesses municípios, durante um ano de inspeções de plantios de cebola, verificou-se que os principais problemas fitossanitários foram o ataque de Thrips spp. e a ocorrência das doenças: mancha púrpura e antracnose foliar, causadas por Alternaria porri (Ellis) Cif. e Colletorichum gloeosporioides, respectivamente. Dentre as doenças, a antracnose foliar é a principal e perdas de até 100% da produção foram observadas em lavoura da região. Estudou-se a importância de sementes, restos culturais e hospedeiros alternativos, como fontes de inóculo do patógeno e monitorou-se o progresso da doença. Não se detectou o patógeno em sementes. Verificou-se que o fungo pode sobreviver em restos de folhas doentes, em condições de laboratório e de campo. Em laboratório, o fungo foi detectado por até 137 dias nos restos mantidos em ambiente seco a 15, 20 e 30°C e nos mantidos em câmara úmida a 20°C. Em condições de campo, o patógeno foi detectado por até 118 dias na superfície e a 5 cm de profundidade e por até 33 e 72 dias a 10 e 15 cm de profundidade, respectivamente. Isolados de C. gloeosporioides de diferentes hospedeiros causaram sintomas em folhas de cebolas. Observou-se diferença de virulência de isolados em frutos de mamão, o que sugere haver variabilidade entre eles. Estudou-se o progresso da antracnose foliar em dois ensaios de campo. No primeiro, avaliou-se a incidência da doença em plantas originárias de mudas tratadas ou não com fungicidas no viveiro e, ou no transplantio. O tratamento de mudas no viveiro retardou o início da epidemia e o tratamento no transplantio reduziu os valores de área abaixo da curva de progresso e de incidência máxima de doença. No segundo, avaliou-se a incidência em plantas de quatro cultivares. Em ‘Régia’, obtiveram-se menores valores de incidência inicial de doença, de área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença e da taxa de progresso da doença.
Onion is cultivated tradicionally in Guidoval and Guiricema – MG, where crop losses due to the Twister, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, can reach 100%. The role of seed, plant debris, and alternative hosts as inoculum sources of the pathogen, and disease progress were studied. The fungus was not detected associated with seeds. It survived in plant debris, under laboratory, and field conditions. In the laboratory, C. gloeosporioides was detected for 137 days in the debris kept at 15, 20, and 30°C, without moist chamber, and at 20°C in moist chamber. In the field, the pathogen survived for 118 days in debris kept on soil surface and at 5 cm depth and for 33 and 72 days at 10 and 15 cm depth, respectively. Isolates of C. gloeosporioides from different hosts caused disease symptoms in onion. The virulence of those isolates was variable in papaya fruits. Disease progress was studied in two field experiments. In the first, disease incidence was assessed in plants originated from fungicide treated. The use of fungicides in the nursery delayed the beginning of the epidemics and the treatment of seedlings for transplanting reduced the values of area under disease progress curve and maximum incidence. Epidemic components were similar for either plants treated or not before transplanting. For the second experiments, disease incidence was assessed in plants of four cultivars. Smaller values of initial disease incidence, area under disease progress curves and disease progress rate were estimated for ‘Régia’.
