Figure 1. Original anthracnose symptoms (a), symptoms in the pathogenicity test showing abundant sporulation on the pericarp (b) and dark soft rot in the mesocarp (c).
Figure 2. Bayesian consensus phylogenetic tree in the Musae clade of the C. gloeosporioides species complex, constructed with concatenated sequences of the ITS region, ACT, CHS, GAPDH, and ApMat with the best evolutionary model applied for each gene. Posterior probabilities ≥0.90 and bootstrap support ≥50% are shown in the nodes (BI/ML). Scale bar: substitutions per site.
Figure 3. Cultural and morphological characteristics of C. fructicola. Culture on PDA medium (a,b), and conidia (c).
Figure 4. Conidium germlings (a) and mycelia (b) showing formation of pedicellate appressoria. Scale bar of (a) applies for (b).
Figure 5. Distribution of the Colletotrichum species complex in the main avocado-producing areas in Mexico. Image created by the authors. Map source: INEGI, Mapa Digital de México.
