Colletotrichum: species, ecology and interactions
Open accessAbstract
The presentations of the Special Interest Group meeting Colletotrichum: species, ecology and interactions, held on 1 August 2010 during IMC9 in Edinburgh, UK, are outlined. Seven research projects, ranged from systematics and population genetics to host-pathogen interactions and genome projects were presented. The meeting revealed that currently major species complexes in the genus Colletotrichum are being revised and the identities of many pathogens clarified on the basis of molecular phylogenies, and that the genomes of four species are sequenced and decoded providing an enormous amount of data that are used to increase our understanding of the biology of Colletotrichum species.

Prior work indicates that ITS sequence data alone cannot reliably identify species and that at least two to three genetic loci, such as GAPDH, ACT, and TUB2, are needed to differentiate accurately within the C. gloeosporioides complex.
“Previous studies highlighted the limitation of relying solely on ITS sequence data for species identification and emphasized the need to use at least 2 to 3 genetic loci (such as GAPDH, ACT, TUB2) for accurate differentiation within the C. gloeosporioides species complex (Damm et al. 2010;Weir et al. 2012).”

The Introduction’s “Systematics and identification” section describes distinct members of the C. gloeosporioides complex as having similar ITS sequences and reports successful species delimitation using eight genes, as well as a five-gene analysis. This supports the limitation of ITS alone and the value of multilocus analysis, but it does not establish that two to three loci suffice or specify GAPDH, ACT, and TUB2 for that purpose. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe C. gloeosporioides isolate examined in this study was closely related to three other species in the C. gloeosporioides complex: C. fructicola, C. aenigma, and C. siamense, based on morphology and ITS sequences.
“In this study, C. gloeosporioides exhibited a close relationship with other Colletotrichum species such as C. fructicola, C. aenigma, and C. siamense, all of which are classified within the C. gloeosporioides species complex (Weir et al. 2012) due to their similar morphology and ITS sequences (Damm et al. 2010).”
From Antifungal Potential of Chitosan and Phenyllactic Acid against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, the Anthracnose Pathogen in Avocados (2025) · cites this paper as Damm et al. 2010
The Systematics and identification section (page not specified) says the C. gloeosporioides sensu lato complex is grouped by similar conidial morphology and ITS sequences, and it lists C. fructicola and C. siamense among its members. It does not mention C. aenigma or examine the citing study’s isolate, so it cannot support the full species-specific relationship claimed. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
