Molecular phylogeny of Colletotrichum (Sordariomycetes: Glomerellaceae) inferred from multiple gene sequences

H. Chen, Ma, Y., Zhang, W. F., Ma, T., and Wu, H. X., Molecular phylogeny of Colletotrichum (Sordariomycetes: Glomerellaceae) inferred from multiple gene sequences, vol. 14, pp. 13649-13662, 2015.

The genus Colletotrichum contains many important plant pathogens mainly distributed in tropical areas. Previous studies that utilized morphology or single genes have failed to resolve the phylogenetic relationships among the species. In this study, sequences of β-tubulin, 28S ribosomal DNA, and ITS region from nine species were analyzed separately and combined to establish a fast method to infer the phylogeny of Colletotrichum using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods.

pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts

L. V. Medeiros, Maciel, D. B., Medeiros, V. V., Kido, L. M. Houllou, and Oliveira, N. T., pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts, vol. 9, pp. 661-673, 2010.

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogen for a great number of economically important crops. During the necrotrophic phase of infection by Colletotrichum spp, the degradative enzymes of plant cell walls, such as pectate lyase, clearly increase. A gene pelB that expresses a pectate lyase was identified in isolates of C. gloeosporioides in avocado pathogens. Various molecular studies have identified a kind of specialization of C.
