Abstract:

To identify the pathogenic fungus causing anthracnose on Aspidistra elatior, tissue isolation method was applied on the samples collected and a fungus strain YYL was obtained. Acupuncture method was used to confirm its pathogenicity. Based on the morphological identification results, ITS, ACT, GAPDH, and CAL fragments were cloned for multigene analysis. The results showed that YYL had high pathogenicity, and the characteristics of colony, hyphae, and conidium were well matched to Colletotrichum lilii. The gene fragments from YYL shared the highest similarity with C. lilii, and the ITS and ACT sequences of both YYL and C. lilii were identical. By combining the morphological features and molecular biological identification results, C. lilii was identified as the pathogen causing anthracnose on Aspidistra elatior.

Key words: Aspidistra elatior, anthracnose, pathogen, Colletotrichum lilii
