Abstract/Contents:Presents studies conducted on the pathology of anthracnose disease caused by species of the fungal genus Colletotrichum, "a huge problem on various host plants worldwide." States that "virtually every agronomic, horticultural, and ornamental crop is susceptible to one or more species of Colletotrichum." Lists symptoms of infection which include postharvest rots, anthracnose spots, and blights of aerial plant parts stating that "the members of this genus cause major economic losses, especially of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals." Mentions that Colletotrichum fungi "have become highly significant as experimental models in studies of many aspects of fungal development, infection processes, host resistance, signal transduction, and the molecular biology of plant-pathogen interactions." Describes the infection process of Colletotrichum species and states that "intercellular hemibiotrophy appears to be an important feature of Colletotrichum pathology." Discusses research on Colletotrichum infection in maize plants to understand the pathogenicity of C. graminicola. Concludes that "it is possible that there are important differences between the monocot-infecting clade of Colletotrichum fungi and other groups within this genus."
