Colletotrichum dracaenophilum causes anthracnose on Dracaena braunii in Brazil

Abstract: Dracaena braunii (lucky bamboo) is a plant of West Africa widely used as an ornamental. Recently individuals bearing anthracnose symptoms were found in Viçosa (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil). Morphology was typical of Colletotrichum dracaenophilum and sequence analyses indicated a high homology to the internal transcribed spacer region and Beta tubulin with the ex-type sequences of this species. This is the first record in Brazil.

“…These morphological features agree with the description of Leslie and Summerell (2006), except for the septation of the microconidia (0-septate according to Leslie and Summerell, 2006). However, the number of septa found in the present study are in line with Lucky bamboo [Dracaena braunii (= D. sanderiana)] is an evergreen perennial ornamental plant of the Asparagaceae family, native to Cameroon in West Africa (Macedo and Barreto, 2016). Recently, it has become a popular ornamental houseplant in Iraq because of its beautiful appearance, low cost, its ability to grow under diverse indoor conditions and no experience required to take care of it.…”

“…For example, Colletotrichum dracaenophilum was reported to cause stem rot on D. braunii (syn. D. sanderiana) in Bulgaria, USA, Egypt and Brazil (Bobev et al, 2008;Sharma et al, 2014;Macedo and Barreto, 2016;Morsy and Elshahawy, 2016). In Iran, Fusarium solani was 2.…”

“…2006 ). The species is only known from Dracaena , from D. sanderiana in Australia, Bulgaria, China, Egypt and Florida (USA), and on D. braunii in Brazil ( Farr et al., 2006 , Bobev et al., 2008 , Sharma et al., 2014 , Macedo and Barreto, 2016 , Morsy and Elshahawy, 2016 , Shivas et al., 2016 ). The reports from Bulgaria and Florida (USA) could be debated, as the plants were imported from other countries, probably from Asia ( Bobev et al.…”

“…The tub2 sequence is 83 % (> 130 nucleotides difference) identical to those of Col. vietnamense strain CBS 125477 (GenBank KF687876 ), Col. gigasporum strain CBS 109355 (GenBank KF687870 ), both belonging to the Col. gigasporum complex ( Liu et al. 2014 ), and Col. dracaenophilum isolate DMM 170 (GenBank KJ653227 , Macedo & Barreto 2016 ). The his3 sequence is 90–91 % identical with species from different complexes, including Col. constrictum strain CBS 128503 (GenBank JQ005498 , Col. boninense complex, Damm et al.…”
