Detection of Colletotrichum pyricola on urban trees of Embothrium coccineum in Chile

The genus Colletotrichum comprises several species in cryptic complexes that cannot be easily recognizable using morphological and cultural characteristics. As a consequence of the lack of morphological characters suitable for identification, DNA sequence analyses are now typically used as the prima...
