Abstract:
Prevalence of bean anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum
lindemuthianum was assessed in four agro-ecologies in
Zambia. Subsequently, fungal isolates were tested for race
specifically involving race differentials and DNA analysis using
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) and Random Amplified
Microsatelites (RMMs). The disease was highly prevalent and
severe in the wetter agro-ecology of Kasama and 17 pathotypes
were found.
La prédominance de l’anthracnose de haricot, provoquée par
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum a été évaluée dans quatre
zones agro-écologiques en Zambie. Plus tard, des isolés
champignons ont été examinés pour la race impliquant
spécifiquement des différences de race et l’analyse d’ADN
en utilisant des répétitions d’ordre simples (SSRs) et des
Microsatellites amplifiés aléatoires (RMMs). La maladie était
fortement répandue et grave dans la zone agro-écologique plus
humide de Kasama et 17 pathotypes ont été trouvés.

Notes:
"The 2010 RUFORUM Biennial Conference was the second in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholers in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. This record contains an extended abstract accepted under the theme diseases".
