Sažetak
During the last decade anthracnose has become a major disease of Satsuma mandarin, the most important citrus crop in Croatia. The aim of this study was to determine Colletotrichum species associated with different symptoms and to identify the origin of inoculum. From 2013 to 2016, 437 samples of plant material were collected. Colletotrichum spp. was isolated from 93% of dried twigs, 35% of dropped flowers, 89% of leaf spots, all fruit (100%) with anthracnose or calyx-end rot symptoms, 12% of fruit with post-harvest soft rot and from 40% of fruit showing spots remaining on trees after harvest. Out of 258 Colletotrichum isolates, 253 has been morphologically identified as C. gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. species complex. Twenty- seven representative isolates were selected for phylogenetic analysis. Sequencing the inter-spacer gene region of ribosomal DNA confirmed the identity of the species. Artificial inoculation of flowers led to more than 2-fold higher young fruit drop compared to control. Pathogenicity tests on green fruit induced typical anthracnose symptoms on 82% of inoculated fruit two months after inoculation. Inoculation of mature fruit caused the appearance of typical anthracnose symptoms on 87% of inoculated fruit. These results showed that C. gloeosporioides species complex is responsible for different disease types on Satsuma mandarin, and that the fungus is present throughout the year on different plant organs.
