Phylogenetic diversity of Colletotrichum species (Sordariomycetes, Glomerellales, Glomerellaceae) associated with plant diseases in Thailand
Researchers in Thailand studied a common fungal plant pathogen called Colletotrichum that causes diseases like anthracnose and leaf spots on various plants. They identified eight different species of this fungus and discovered two previously unknown species. The study helps farmers and plant scientists better understand and identify these disease-causing fungi to protect their crops.
