Abstract

AbstractAnthracnose is a major disease of cultivated Camellia oleifera (tea‐oil tree) in China, with serious negative impacts on the yield and quality of cooking oil. In 2020, symptoms of anthracnose were observed on the leaves of tea‐oil trees in Hunan province, and Colletotrichum isolates were obtained from symptomatic leaf tissues. Morphological characterization and sequencing of ApMat gene region indicated that these isolates represented Colletotrichum aeschynomenes. Inoculation trial confirmed that C. aeschynomenes causes anthracnose on Ca. oleifera in China.
