ABSTRACT

PCR assays were used to identify Colletotrichum acutatum and C. gloeosporioides out of 14 fungal cultures obtained from seed samples of selected yellow and Andean lupin cultivars. The results allowed for a classification of all fungal cultures to C. acutatum. No C. gloeosporioides culture was identified. In addition, the comparison of rDNA sequence fragment from one of the cultures tested with sequences available in the NCBI/GeneBank database confirmed that the species identified was C. acutatum. The BIO-PCR technique was also used to detect potential inoculum of both species in two lupin seed samples. The results of BIO-PCR assays showed that two lupin seed samples were infected with C. acutatum while no isolate of C. gloeosporioides was detected.

Key words: yellow lupin, Andean lupin, anthracnose, Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, BIO-PCR.
