| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To analyze the mechanisms for phylogenetic development of pathogenesis of Colletotrichun fungi, we conducted cytological karyotype analysis. Especially, karyotyping of C.orbiculare, C.trifolii, C.spinosum C.lindemuthianum, C.malvarum, C.tebeest that belong to Orbiculare clade indicated that those fungi conserves karyotype with n=10 chromosomes that contain considerably large AT-rich heterochromatin region. Pathogenesis specificity development of Orbiculare clade fungi was evaluated by inoculation assay. C.sidae of which natural host is Malvaceae plant could infect Asteraceae plants and C.orbiculare, C.trifolii, C.spinosum of which natural hosts are not Malvaceae plant infected Malvaceae plant, indicating that Orbiculare clade fungi share plant hosts that might be a potential ancestral common host plants.
