Syzygium jambos (Myrtaceae) is an ornamental and fruit tree from Southeast Asia that is now widespread in Brazil (Lorenzi et al. 2006). In 2016, S. jambos fruits with anthracnose symptoms were observed distributed randomly on several individual trees on the campus of the Universidade de Brasília, in Brasília, central Brazil. Initial symptoms appeared as circular, light brown lesions that later became dark brown and sunken with orange spore masses. A fungus was isolated from symptomatic fruits and single-spore cultures were obtained following plating on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Conidia were hyaline, aseptate, straight, cylindrical to fusiform with both ends acute, and 11 to 18.5 µm long and 3.5 to 5 µm wide. Conidia with acute ends are typical of the Colletotrichum acutatum complex (Damm et al. 2012). The monosporic culture was deposited at the Coleção de Culturas Fúngicas da Universidade de Brasília (code CCUB 272) and used for molecular characterization. Partial sequences of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (GAPDH), β-tubulin 2 gene (TUB2), and ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) (accession nos. KY344753 to KY344755) were employed in a search against the Q-bank fungal database, with C. pseudoacutatum isolate CBS 436.77 retrieved with 100% identities. In order to confirm the pathogenicity of this fungus, 5 mm mycelial disks or conidial suspensions (105 conidia/ml) obtained from a 7-day-old culture (grown at 25°C) were deposited directly onto either intact S. jambos fruit surfaces or surfaces superficially wounded using a sterilized needle. PDA discs or sterilized distilled water were used on control fruits and treatments were repeated five times. After inoculation, fruits were placed in a tray, covered with transparent plastic film, and incubated at 25°C. Symptoms were observed on all fruits 3 days after inoculation with fungal material, while mock-inoculated control fruits remained healthy. Fungal cultures reisolated from lesions exhibited morphological characteristics identical the isolate originally inoculated and to C. pseudoacutatum Damm, P.F. Cannon & Crous. C. pseudoacutatum is a species with acute-ended conidia that is phylogenetically distinct from the C. acutatum complex. To date, only one isolate of this species has been reported, on seedlings of Pinus radiata in Chile (Damm et al. 2012). Only two Colletotrichum records have been previously observed on S. jambos, in disease indexes, with C. gloeosporioides reported in the United States of America (Alfieri et al. 1984) and Glomerella cingulata in Hong Kong (Lu et al. 2000). Without ruling out the possibility that there are more Colletotrichum species associated to jambo anthracnose, this is the first unequivocal identification of C. pseudoacutatum causing anthracnose on S. jambos fruits in Brazil or worldwide.References:Alfieri, S.
