Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, produces brown lesions on guava fruits, causing severe losses on postharvest. In this study, the infection and colonization of guava fruits by C. gloeosporioides has been examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Fruits at the physiologically mature stage were inoculated with a 10(5) conidia/mL spore suspension. Afterward, fruits were incubated at 25 °C in a wet chamber for periods of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 120 h to allow examination of the infection and colonization process. Conidia germination and appressoria formation occurred six hours after inoculation (h.a.i). Penetration occurred directly via penetration pegs from appressoria, which penetrated the host cuticle 48 h.a.i. Notably, the appressoria did not produce an appressorial cone surrounding the penetration pore. Infection vesicles were found in epidermal cells 96 h.a.i. The same fungal structures were found in epidermal and parenchymal cells of the host 120 h.a.i. Colonization strategy of C. gloeosporioides on guava fruit was intracellular hemibiotrophic.

The fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the cause of anthracnose, one of the most important postharvest diseases in guava fruits. The objective of detect quiescent infections caused by this pathogen in flower buds (YF) and guava fruits in two production seasons, thirteen plants and fifty YF per plant were selected, organized under a randomized block design with three treatments: YF inoculated covers, YF covered not inoculated and YF uncovered not inoculated (control). Ten YF were inoculated weekly with 3 mL of conidial suspension of C. gloeosporioides by YF and were identified with colored ribbons.week-1.date-1. One week after the inoculation, five YF were collected per treatment, which were transferred to the laboratory where they were washed, disinfected, incubated in a humid chamber and sown in the PDA medium, to detect the presence of the fungus, the remaining five YF were left in the plant until harvest. Quiescent infections manifested in reproductive organs of all ages, with the highest incidence between 6 and 13 weeks with significant differences (p<0.001) between infections/weeks. The fungus developed more frequently in the humid chamber (69.79 %) with the appearance of an orange mucilaginous mass and in the PDA (51 %) with the presence mycelial growth. The production season was decisive in the detection of quiescent infections, with the highest percentage between april and august (69.10 %) when the highest rainfall occurred. These results demonstrated that C. gloeosporioides infects guava flowers and unripe fruits and the disease manifests itself in ripe fruits.

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a lovely tropical and subtropical fruit that originates in Mexico, Central America, and then taken to other distant and near parts around the world. In Sudan this popular fruit is produced in orchards and household and is so profitable but yet attacked by a lot of fruit fly species of the Genera Ceratitis and Bactrocera and the result is a loss of more than 70%. This research aimed at evaluating the effect of Gum Arabic coating (GAC) in extending the shelf life of guava fruit and disinfesting it from these notorious pests. Guava fruits from Kadaro orchards, Khartoum North, were tested using seven concentrations of Gum Arabic solutions. The results reflect that 1: 4 (25%) and 1: 8 (12.5%) (GA: water) concentrations attained 56 and 40% disinfestation, respectively whereas the other lower concentrations effected corresponding results in a range from 20 – 08%. The reduction in maggots per test fruit reached upto 188% as compared to the control.  The highest concentrations (1: 4 & 1: 8) effected a sustainability of 52% in fruit firmness (FF) with an average of medium (3) FF compared to soft FF (4) in the control. The corresponding results in other lower concentrations (1: 16; 1: 32; 1: 64; 1: 72 & 1: 96) were 36, 24, 24, 20 and 16%, respectively. In addition to an average FF of 4 (soft) for all these concentrations and 5 (very soft) for all the corresponding controls. Nevertheless, the sustainability of fruit color (FC) effected by the test concentrations was 52, 44, 24, 22, 24, 20, and 24%, respectively. Regarding these results, the two highest test concentrations effected a sizeable disinfestation and control of fruit flies and a good extension of shelf life of guava in Khartoum State. These findings support using this treatment as an effective IPM tool to extend guava fruit shelf life and upgrading its postharvest quality.

RESUMO A cultura da goiaba apresenta perdas em torno de 40 a 60% na pós-colheita relacionadas a problemas fitossanitários, como a antracnose causada pelo fungo Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Pesquisas com métodos alternativos utilizando indutores de resistência têm sido bastante promissoras na busca de produtos com alto potencial no controle de patógenos em pós-colheita. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os indutores de resistência no controle da antracnose e seus efeitos na qualidade físico-química em frutos de goiabeira ‘Paluma’. Os tratamentos utilizados foram: Agro-mós®, Ecolife®, Fosfitonova K®, Cuprogarb 500®, Rocksil® e testemunha (água destilada esterilizada). Realizou-se o teste in vitro, com discos de colônia de C. gloeosporioides (0,45 cm de diâmetro) com sete dias de cultivo e, postos em meio de cultura BDA acrescidos com os indutores. Foi determinada a porcentagem de inibição do crescimento micelial de C. gloeosporioides. O ensaio in vivo foi realizado com frutos de goiabeira variedade Paluma, desinfestados e tratados com indutores. Em seguida, discos de colônia do C. gloeosporioides foram inoculados e do primeiro ao oitavo dia após a inoculação, foram feitas avaliações do diâmetro das lesões nos frutos. As análises pós-colheita foram realizadas, avaliando a perda de massa fresca, sólidos solúveis totais (SST), acidez titulável (AT), razão SST/AT e potencial hidrogeniônico (pH). Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema de parcela subdivididas 6x8 (tratamentos x período de avaliação) e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Os indutores Agro-mos®, Ecolife®, Fosfitonova K®, Cuprogarb 500® e Rocksil® inibiram o crescimento micelial do C. gloeosporioides in vitro, reduziram o diâmetro das lesões e mantiveram a qualidade pós-colheita em frutos de goiabeira ‘Paluma’.

During August 2003, guava fruit (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Red Dominicana from Cojedes state in Venezuela showed circular, purple-to-brown lesions (0.5 to 1.0 cm) that spread over all surfaces and became black and shrunken on severely affected fruit. Symptomatic tissues were plated aseptically on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Colonies that were initially gray and turned black with age were consistently isolated. The fungus was characterized by dense, submerged, brown-to-black mycelium with septate hyphae. Ascocarps were perithecial, abundant, granulose, subglobose to cylindric obpyriform, solitary or aggregated, mostly unilocular with prominent long necks; ascocarp walls were stromatic, composed of several layers of cells, thick walled, and deeply pigmented on the outside. Asci were subclavate to cylindrical, stipitate, 44 to 84 × 7 to 9 μm, and eight-spored; asci walls were thick and bitunicate. Ascospores were unicellular, hyaline, guttulate, fusiform ellipsoid, widest in the mid-region with rounded ends and gelatinous plugs, and 12 to 17 × 4.5 μm. Conidiomata were pycnidial, intermixed among ascocarps, variable in shape, dark brown, solitary or aggregated, ostiolate, and with long necks up to 1 mm. Pycnidial walls were pseudoparenchymatic, multicellular, and composed of many layers of brown compressed cells. Conidiogenous cells were hyaline, subglobose to cylindrical, and smooth, and holoblastic. Conidia were hyaline, unicellular, obovate, 6 to 12 (7.5) × 5 to 8 μm, slightly truncate at the bases, rounded at apices, guttulate, and provided a gelatinous envelope and apical appendage. Appendages were hyaline, tubular, smooth, and 3.0 to 4.5 × 0.5 μm. The fungus is homothallic because single ascospores and single conidia developed ascigerous states. The ascigerous state was identified as Guignardia psidii (1) and the anamorph as Phyllosticta psidiicola (1,2). Pathogenicity tests were conducted on detached fruits inoculated with monosporic cultures. Pathogenesis and symptom development only occurred when a mixture of mycelium, ascospores, and conidia was used as inoculum. The fungus was reisolated from symptomatic fruit tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Guignardia psidii, an ascigerous state of Phyllosticta psidiicola from guava fruits in Venezuela. References: (1) B. A. Ullasa and R. D. Rawal. Curr.

Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de extratos e óleos essenciais de quatorze plantas medicinais e ou nativas, conhecidas popularmente no Norte de Minas Gerais, sobre a germinação de esporos e crescimento micelial do fungo Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Foram utilizados no teste de inibição do crescimento micelial, os extratos aquosos de alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis), erva baleeira (Cordia verbenacea), joá (Solanum sisymbriifolium), quebra-pedra (Phyllanthus corcovadensis), erva botão (Eclipta alba) e açafrão da índia (Curcuma longa) obtidos por meio do processo de infusão; óleo essencial de alecrim de vargem (Família Lamiaceae), alecrim pimenta (Lippia sidoides), alfavaca cravo (Ocimum gratissimum), lippia (Lippia citriodora), goiaba branca (Psidium guajava), capim santo (Cymbopogon citratus); óleo resina de copaíba (Copaifera langsdorffi); hidrolatos de alecrim de vargem, goiaba vermelha (Psidium guajava), lippia, capim santo, goiaba branca, alfavaca cravo; manipueira de (Manihot esculenta). Também foram testados esses mesmos hidrolatos e os óleos essenciais na germinação dos esporos do fungo. Todos os tratamentos foram realizados in vitro, cultivando-se o fungo em meio de cultura BDA acrescido de 100μL dos compostos vegetais. No teste de inibição da germinação, todos os óleos essenciais impediram a germinação do fungo. No entanto, os hidrolatos não tiveram esse efeito. No teste de crescimento micelial, os óleos essenciais de todas as plantas inibiram completamente o crescimento do fungo, exceto o óleo da goiaba branca. Os extratos aquosos, a manipueira, o óleo resina e os hidrolatos, também não foram eficientes sobre o crescimento do patógeno. Esses resultados indicam o potencial antifúngico de alguns óleos essenciais de plantas medicinais.
