Race Structure and Molecular Diversity of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum of Common Bean in Zambia.

Abstract excerpt

Anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, is a major disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) worldwide. C. lindemuthianum is genetically highly variable, and understanding the pathogen's diversity and distribution is a key step in developing common bean varieties with durable anthracnose resistance. The objectives of this study were to (i) characterize the race structure of C....
