    Introduction

    Jasmine (Jasminum sambac (L.) Aiton) is grown as anornamental throughout Asia where it is native and is usedfor garments, bouquets and in massage oils. In China andVietnam it is used to produce the flowers used in jasminetea and is grown in plantations. There are relatively fewreports of disease of jasmine; these include witches broomcaused by phytoplasma (Al-Zadjali et al. 2007), tomatomosaic virus infection (Kamenova et al. 2006), cercospor-

  • oid leaf spots (Braun and Sivapalan 1999) and several otherfolicolous taxa (Agarwal and Sahni 1965; Sahni 1966).Reports of Colletotrichum species on jasmine are rare.Agarwal (1962) introduced a new species, C. jasminicola,which caused severe blighting of leaves and shoots in India,while Agarwal and Sahni (1965) identified C. dematiumfrom leaf spots.

    Jasmine plantations have become a common andimportant industry in Asia. In Vietnam Colletotrichumspecies cause serious problems to the plantations, infectingleaves and flowers, often resulting in defoliation anddieback. The objective of this study was to examine anddescribe Colletotrichum species that cause disease ofjasmine plants in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

    Materials and methods

    A survey was made to jasmine plantations in Cu ChiDistrict, Hoc Mon District and the 12th District of Ho ChiMinh City, by staff of Post Entry Quarantine No. 2 (PEQ2)from January to September 2009 (Fig. 1).

    Isolation of Colletotrichum strains

    Diseased leaves and flowers were removed from thejasmine plants and returned to the laboratory in individualsnap lock plastic bags. In the laboratory they wereexamined for visible sporulation and the fungi present wereconfirmed to be Colletotrichum species. A single sporeisolation technique was applied to plant tissues where sporemasses were formed. Spore masses were picked off with asterilize wire loop or fine forceps and suspended insterilized water. The spore suspension was diluted to a

    reasonable concentration and spread onto the surface ofPDA agar, followed by incubation overnight at roomtemperature (25C). Single germinating spores were pickedup with a sterilized needle and transferred to new PDAplate for morphological and molecular study (Goh 1999).

    Morphological studies of Colletotrichum from jasmine

    Mycelial discs (0.5 cm diam.) were taken from 10 day oldcultures and transferred to potato dextrose agar (PDA), maltextract agar (MEA) and oat agar (OA), and incubated at27C following the methods of Cai et al. (2009). Colonydiameters of three replicate cultures of each speciesgrowing on PDA were measured daily for 7 days. Growthrate was calculated as the 7 day average of mean dailygrowth (cm per day). After 7 days, colony size wasrecorded. Colony characteristics on each type of agar werealso recorded.

    Appressoria were produced using a slide culture tech-nique in which a 1 cm2 square of a Colletotrichum cultureon PDA was placed in an empty Petri dish and a sterilecover slip was placed over the agar (Cai et al. 2009). After7 days, the shape and size of appressoria formed on theunderside of the cover slip were studied. Morphologicaldata were analyzed using analysis of variance (P

  • Extraction Kit (BioFlux) according to the instructions ofthe manufacturer. DNA concentrations were estimatedvisually in agarose gel by comparing band intensity witha DNA ladder 100 bp (Transgen Biotech).

    PCR, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis

    Partial actin (ACT), -tubulin (TUB2), calmodulin(CAL), glutamine synthetase (GS), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) genes and the com-plete rDNA-ITS (ITS) region from five Colletotrichumstrains were amplified by PCR reaction, as described byPrihastuti et al. (2009). DNA sequencing was performed atthe SinoGenoMax Company Limited, Beijing, China. Theaccession numbers of all sequences are listed in Table 1.Parsimony and Bayesian analyses were performed byusing PAUP* 4.0b10 (Swofford 2002) and MrBayes3.0b4 (Huelsenbeck and Ronquist 2001), with detailsoutlined in Cai et al. (2006).

    Results

    Nine strains of Colletotrichum were isolated from jasmineleaves and flowers and morphological and culture character-istics established using the methods suggested by Cai et al.(2009). The entire ITS region of all strains were sequencedand compared with known ex-type cultures of Colletotri-chum. Three strains (LLBM09, LLTX05, LLNB06) wereidentified as C. truncatum, while one strain (LLBM02) wasidentified as C. siamense, based on ITS sequence analysisand morphological characters (results not shown). The otherfive strains did not cluster with any currently known speciesbased on molecular and morphological characters. A furtherfive gene regions of these five strains were thereforesequenced and phylogenetic relationships reconstructedusing parsimonious and Bayesian methods (Figs. 6, 7).These five strains did not group with any other species ofColletotrichum in the phylogenetic tree (Figs. 6, 7). StrainsCLTA01, LLTA01 and HLTX01 were resolved in a wellseparated lineage with C. siamense as its sister group. StrainLLTX01, which is characterized by curved conidia,clustered in a distinct lineage basal to C. curcumae and C.truncatum. Strain LLBM04 however, was not well resolvedin the six gene tree and herein tentatively named asColletotrichum sp.

    Discussion

    Colletotrichum species on jasmine have been poorlystudied, with reports of only C. jasminicola and C.dematium (Tilak 1960; Agarwal 1962; Agarwal and Sahni1965). Colletotrichum jasminicola has smaller conidia (81135 m) than any of the species reported in thepresent study (Tilak 1960). It is also unclear from thedescription and diagnosis that C. jasminicola is actually aColletotrichum species. Colletotrichum dematium wasonly recently epitypified, with CBS 125.25 as the ex-epitype (Damm et al. 2009). Therefore, it cannot beconfirmed if Agarwal and Sahni (1965) correctly identi-fied their species as C. dematium. The current studyisolated nine strains representing five distinct taxa andthree of them have not been reported in previous studies.Although this investigation is limited in sampling scaleand isolations obtained, it appears that jasmine may host arelatively high diversity of Colletotrichum species.

    Until recently most identifications of Colletotrichumspecies have been based on morphological data andalthough strides were made to incorporate sequence datathey generally proved confusing (Hyde et al. 2009a;2009b). The difficulties arose as most species lacked typecultures and many of the sequences deposited in GenBankwere wrongly named (Crouch et al. 2009; Cai et al. 2009).Cannon et al. (2008) epitypified the ubiquitous speciesColletotrichum gloeosporioides and for the first time itwas possible to compare fresh collections against a livingex-epitype culture.

  • phylogenetics has also made it possible to recognisestable and well-resolved clades within Colletotrichumspecies complexes (Crouch and Beirn 2009; Damm et al.2009; Prihastuti et al. 2009; Shivas and Yu 2009). Apolyphasic approach has been recommended for study intothe systematics of Colletotrichum, which emphasizescomparison with type specimens, and multilocus phylog-eny in conjunction with recognisable polyphasic charac-ters (Cai et al. 2009). Recently, Damm et al. (2009)described 18 species with curved spores of which 10 wereepitypes and 4 were new species. Prihastuti et al. (2009)and Yang et al. (2009) described six new species fromcoffee berries and amarylarids, while Shivas and Yu(2009) discussed epitypification of the acutatum com-plex. The establishment of two new species in this study,together with above recently described new species agreewell with the above concepts for recognizing a distinctspecies.

    Among the three taxa described in this paper, two fitin the gloeosporioides-complex (cylindrical conidia) andthe other fits in the truncatum-complex (curved conidia).These three taxa can be well differentiated by morphology(mainly conidial shape and size), cultural characteristicsand growth rates. The two taxa in the gloeosporioides-complex also differ by their cultural characteristics andgrowth rates. Colletotrichum jasmini-sambac grows sig-nificantly faster than C. jasminigenum (41.38 vs.24.24 mm/day).

  • Colletotrichum jasmini-sambac is most closely related toC. siamense, which is a common pathogen that has beenreported from a wide range of hosts (Prihastuti et al. 2009;Yang et al. 2009; Phoulivong et al. 2010). Colletotrichumjasmini-sambac has an overlapping conidial size range withC. siamense and both produce white and cottony colonieson PDA. However, the mean conidial length of theformer is significantly longer (14.01 vs. 10.18 m), andit also grows significantly faster (41.38 vs. 9.12 mm/day)(Prihastuti et al. 2009). We obtained three strains of C.jasmini-sambac and they all present similar conidial andappressorial morphology and growth rates.

    Colletotrichum sp. (LLBM04) is represented by onlyone strain. Further investigations are suggested so as to

    have a better understanding of its phylogenetic relationshipsand infraspecific variation. In the phylogenetic tree, strainLLBM04 appears as sister clade between C. siamense andC. hymenocallidis. Colletotrichum sp. (LLBM04) produ-ces slightly smaller conidia than C. hymenocallidis, butthey are similar to those of C. siamense. Further collectionsand studies are required to clarify the phylogenetic relation-ships between these strains.

    Colletotrichum jasminigenum (strain LLTX01) pro-duced curved conidia (Fig 2), which have close affinity tospecies in truncatum-complex. Colletotrichum jasminige-num is most closely related to C. truncatum and C.curcumae (Fig. 7) (Damm et al. 2009). Colletotrichumjasminigenum differs in producing significantly larger
