2005-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Variation within Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, the causal agent of yam anthracnose disease, is still poorly defined and this hinders breeding for resistance. Two morphotypes of C. gloeosporioides, designated slow-growing grey (SGG) and fast-growing salmon (FGS), are associated with anthracnose disease of yam in Nigeria. The morphotypes are distinguishable based on colony and conidial morphology, growth rate, vir...
