Abstract
Gloeosporium lupini Bondar is transferred to Colletotrichum. The fungus is characterized morphologically and illustrated. The two varieties, Colletotrichum lupini (Bondar) Nirenberg, Feiler & Hagedorn, comb. nov. var. lupini and Colletotrichum lupini var. setosum Nirenberg, Feiler & Hagedorn var. nov. are described. They are compared with additional Colletotrichum species reported from lupins and other hosts by morphological and physiological methods as well as by RAPD-PCR and DNA-sequencing.
The authors thank Ms. Heidrun Anders, Ms. Astrid Hansen, and Ms. Ute Hopf for their excellent technical assistance and W. Gams for providing the Latin diagnosis. The study was supported by a grant to U. Feiler from the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Forestry.
