Abstract

We investigated the phylogenetic diversity of 144Colletotrichumisolates associated withsymptomatic and asymptomatic tissues of Camellia sinensis and other Camellia spp. from seven provinces in China (Fujian, Guizhou, Henan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), and sevenisolates obtained from other countries, including Indonesia, UK, and the USA. Based on the multi-locus(ACT, CAL, GAPDH, GS, ITS, TUB2) phylogenetic analysesand phenotypic characters, 11 species weredistinguished, including ninewell-characterisedspecies (i.e., C. alienum, C. boninense, C. cliviae, C. fioriniae, C. fructicola, C. gloeosporioides, C. karstii, C. siamense), one which was epitypified (C. camelliae), and two novel species (C. henanense and C. jiangxiense). Of these, C. camelliae proved to be the most dominant andprobably host specifictaxon occurring on Camellia. Colletotrichum jiangxienseis shown to be phylogenetically closely related to the coffee berry pathogen C. kahawae subsp. kahawae.Pathogenicity testsand pairwise homoplasy index test suggest that C. jiangxiense and C. kahawae subsp. kahawae are two independent species. This study represents the first reports of C. alienum and C. cliviae occurring on Camellia sinensis. In addition, our study demonstrated that the combineduse of ApMat and GS loci in phylogenetic analysis is able to resolve all currently accepted species in the C. gloeosporioides species complex.
