Abstract

Zhangzhou in Fujian province is the primary habitat for the succulent plant Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ (Crassulaceae), which has seriously suffered from anthracnose disease in recent years. Plants with typical disease symptoms were collected from three planting bases in Zhangzhou, and pathogens were isolated for further identification. The pathogen was identified as Colletotrichum destructivum by morphological observation, rDNA-ITS, Actin, and TUB2 gene sequence analysis, and pathogenicity identification. This is the first ever report of anthracnose caused by C. destructivum on Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg.’
