Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Colletotrichum Species Associated with Anthracnose Disease

Abstract

Colletotrichum species are related with anthracnose of a wide-ranging of host plants containing cultivated and wild tropical fruits. The genetic and ecological variety of species connected with wild fruits exist poorly explored, as associated to those affiliated with pre and post harvest diseases of cultivated fruits. It is needed to re-assess the evolutionary relationships of Colletotrichum species arising in cultivated and wild fruits with prominence on their ecology and cryptic divergence containing sampling at regional and global scales. This study we will examine to analysis of sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS).To observe phylogenetic associations and closeness within Colletotrichum species. Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of strains of the Colletotrichum complex associated with anthracnose.
