Glomerella is a cosmopolitan species of Ascomycetes (Ascomycota), the own family Glomerellaceae forms. Their asexual forms ( anamorphs ) are summarized in the genus Colletotrichum Corda and are important plant pests. The anthracnosis causedby C. acutatum and C. cingulata is known . Some species, for example C. circinans and C. capsici , are parasitoids .

features

Sexual form

The sexual form ( teleomorph ) is called Glomerella . It forms black perithecia without stroma as fruiting bodies , which have a clearly formed opening (ostiolum). Thin-walled paraphyses are numerous in the fruiting body . The asci are club-shaped and have an apical ring. The ascospores are hyaline , smooth, and often curved.

Asexual forms

The asexual forms (anamorphs) are called Colletotrichum . The spores are conidia . The spore is as Acervulus , that is, as in the host tissue sunk Myzelpolster formed with forced standing conidiophores. The acervulus is flat, disc-shaped and long covered by epidermis with blackish bristles.

The conidia are ovate to oblong. They are unicellular and hyaline . They are often found in drops of mucus on the bearing.

Systematics

External system

The genus has long been placed in the order Phyllachorales . However, it is distinguished from this order by some features, such as the absence of a stroma and the exclusive formation of anamorphs of the Colletotrichum form. First phylogenetic studies showed that Glomerella and Colletotrichum form their own group within the Hypocreomycetidae , so they are not closely related to the Phyllachorales. These authors had suggested that the genus should be placed in its own family and order.

Zhang et al. were able to confirm these results and describe the family Glomerellaceae, which was incorrectly described by Locquin in 1984. The relationships are illustrated by the following cladogram:



Coronophorales


   

Melanosporales



   


Verticillium dahliae , an anamorphic


   

Glomerellaceae



   

Microascales (including Halosphaeriales)



The position of Glomerella as an unrelated family within the Hypocreomycetidae was subsequently included in the Outline of Ascomycota .

Internal system

To date 39 accepted species belong to the anamorphic Colletotrichum . Some species with their associated host plants are:
