Abstract
|
C. fructicola isolates are biologically and geographically diverse. They have been isolated from Pyrus pyrifolia from Japan, Limonium from Israel, Malus domestica and Fragaria
ananassa from the USA, Persea americana from Australia, Ficus from Germany, Malus domestica from Brazil, Dioscorea from Nigeria and Theobroma and Tetragastris from Panama (www.q-bank.eu). To our knowledge, this is the first report of occurrence of C. fructicola as the causal agent of anthracnose on common bean and cowpea plants in the world.
