Morphological and molecular characterization of Colletotrichum boninense sp. nov. from Japan
Abstract
Eleven isolates of a species of Colletotrichum were collected from eight plant species (Crinum asiaticum var. sinicum, Passiflora edulis, Cucumis melo, Cymbidium sp., Clivia miniata, Cattleya sp., Prunus mume, and Dendrobium kingianum) at six locations on the Pacific Coast of Japan. Although the fungus had been once identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides sensu lato, it was clearly different from C. gloeosporioides sensu stricto in its wide conidia [l/b ratio: (1.8–) 2–3 (–3.3)], having a hilumlike conidial base and cream- to orange-colored colonies on PDA. The intraspecific DNA homologies of the ITS1 sequence were 96.9%–100%, but interspecifically 80.2%– 82.3% with C. gloeosporioides. Based on the morphological and molecular characterization, the fungus is proposed as a new species, Colletotrichum boninense.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
