Identification of specific genes as molecular markers for rapid and accurate detection of oil-tea Camellia anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum fructicola in China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Camellia anthracnose is caused by multiple Colletotrichum species, resulting in severe yield losses of oil-tea Camellia. Colletotrichum fructicola is one of the major anthracnose pathogens of oil-tea Camellia worldwide. However, developing unique molecular markers for the rapid and accurate detection of Colletotrichum fructicola from diverse Colletotrichum species, as well as early monitoring and effective control of the disease, remains largely unexplored.

Methods

C. fructicola-specific genes were obtained using a BLAST search of the sequences of predicted genes in C. fructicola against the genome sequences of Colletotrichum fungal pathogens. In this study, Colletotrichum fructicola-sp
