Abstract
Colletotrichum horii causes serious anthracnose on persimmon (Diospyros kaki cv. Wuheshi). The taxon was previously identified as C. gloeosporioides and only recently revealed to be C. horii based on molecular data and comparisons to type specimens. This fungus provides an important new model for examining plant–fungus interactions in the perennial persimmon crop. In this paper, we review available information on C. horii, with special focus on symptoms, morphological characteristics, phylogenetic analysis, host-specificity and pathogenicity testing, infection processes, and the effects of environment factors on anthracnose development, including a discussion on future prospects.
