“…Colletotrichum species causing banana anthracnose in Brazil were found to be C. siamense, C. tropicale, C. chrysophilum, and C. theobromicola [23]. Colletotrichum scovillei was reported in China [21], C. siamense in India [22] and Turkey [25], C. gloeosporioides in Ecuador [24] and C. chrysophilum in Mexico [26]. Other reported species include C. paxtonii [12], C. karstii [46], C. gloeosporioides sensu lato [20], and an undescribed species assigned to C. siamense sensu lato clade [106].…”

In tropical fruit crops, anthracnose is mainly caused by species belonging to the fungal genus, Colletotrichum. These phytopathogens can infect several parts of the fruit crops; however, infection during postharvest or ripening stages is responsible for major economic losses. Due to the formation of black to dark brown sunken lesions on the fruit surface, anthracnose reduces fruit quality and marketability. Among the most common tropical fruit crops susceptible to anthracnose are mango, papaya, banana, avocado, guava, and dragon fruit; these are economically relevant products in many developing countries. It is important to document that the newly recorded Colletotrichum spp. associated with fruit anthracnose can infect multiple hosts, but some species may be host-specific. By using multiple markers, many phylogenetic species of Colletotrichum have been reported as anthracnose-causing pathogens. Taking into account that disease management strategies strongly rely on adequate knowledge of the causative agents, updated information on Colletotrichum species and the hazard posed by the most recently identified species in tropical fruit plantations and harvested fruits becomes vital. Besides, the newly recorded species may be important for biosecurity and should be listed as quarantine pathogens, considering that tropical fruits are traded worldwide.

“…Control banana fruits remained symptomless. The pathogen has previously been reported from India (Kumar et al 2017) and Brazil (Vieira et al 2017). To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. siamense causing anthracnose of banana in Turkey.…”

Here, we report a metabarcoding (ITS2) study to define the common core fungal microbiome (mycobiome) of healthy Musa spp. (bananas and plantains). To identify a list of 21 core fungal taxa, we first characterised the effects of edaphic conditions and host genotype – two factors that are likely to differ between farms – on the diversity of fungal communities in bulk soil and seven plant compartments. This experiment facilitated shortlisting of core ‘candidates’, which were then elevated to full core status if also found to frequent a wide-range of field-grown Musa spp. and exhibit hub-like characteristics in network analyses. Subsequently, we conducted a meta-analysis of eleven publicly available datasets of Musa spp. associated fungi demonstrating that the core fungi identified in our study have close relatives in other countries. The diversity and composition of mycobiomes differed between plant compartments and soils, but not genotypes. The core mycobiome included Fusarium oxysporum and its relatives, which dominated all plant compartments, as well as members of the Sordariomycetes, Dothideomycetes, and Mortierellomycota. Our study provides a robust list of common core fungal taxa for Musa spp. Further studies may consider how changes in the frequencies and activities of these taxa influence host fitness and whether they can be managed to improve banana production.
