Nesse sentido, objetivou-se caracterizar o agente causal da antracnose, determinar a reação de genótipos a Colletotrichum truncatum e investigar a viabilidade da utilização da técnica de folhas destacadas em estudos relacionados a essa doença. Isolados foram caracterizados em relação a aspectos morfoculturais quando cultivados em meios de cultura batata-dextrose-ágar (BDA) e feijão-dextrose-ágar (FDA), em temperaturas de 26, 28 e 30ºC e fotoperíodo de 12 horas. A patogenicidade dos isolados e a reação dos genótipos foram avaliadas em folhas destacadas e na planta. O comportamento dos genótipos foi avaliado em duas épocas, no período chuvoso (17 de abril a 02 de junho/2008) e período seco (13 de junho a 29 de julho/2008). O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado com cinco e quatro repetições para avaliação da patogenicidade e dos genótipos, respectivamente. As características morfológicas e culturais variaram de acordo com o isolado e condições de cultivo, porém, foram compatíveis com as descritas para a espécie C. truncatum. A patogenicidade foi comprovada, porém não foram detectadas diferenças significativas entre os isolados. Os primeiros sintomas da doença apareceram aos três dias após a inoculação em folhas destacadas e plantas. Os genótipos UFPI - 578, UFPI - 468 e UFPI - 26 foram suscetíveis a C. truncatum. Quando avaliados em folha destacada não diferiram estatisticamente entre si no nível de infecção, independente da época. Em planta e na ausência de chuva, UFPI - 26 apresentou o maior nível de infecção, enquanto UFPI - 578, o menor. A correlação positiva e significativa (P<0,0001) entre folha destacada e planta comprova a viabilidade do emprego da técnica de folhas destacadas em estudos relacionados a essa doença / Anthracnose is often found in lima bean plantations in the northeast region of Brazil, however, has been little studied. In this sense, the goals were to characterize the causal agent of anthracnose, determine the reaction of genotypes to Colletotrichum truncatum and investigate the viability of using the technique of detached leaves in studies related to this disease. Isolates were characterized in relation to aspects morphocultural when grown in culture BDA and FDA, in temperatures of 26, 28 and 30ºC and photoperiod of 12 hours. The pathogenicity of the isolates and the reaction of the genotypes were evaluated in detached leaf and plant. The behavior of the genotypes were evaluated in two seasons, in the presence and absence of rain. The design was completely randomized to five and four replicates to evaluate the pathogenicity and genotypes, respectively. The cultural and morphological characteristics varied according with the isolates and conditions of the grown, but were compatible with those described for the species C. truncatum. The pathogenicity was proved no significant differences between the isolates. The first symptoms of the disease appeared to three days after inoculation in detached leaves and plants. The genotypes UFPI - 578, UFPI - 468 and UFPI - 26 were susceptible to C. truncatum. When evaluated in detached leaves did not differ significantly among themselves in the level of infection, independent of the season. In plants, UFPI - 26 was the most susceptible in season 2 with the highest level of infection, while the UFPI - 578 was the least susceptible. The positive and significant correlation (P <0.0001) between detached leaves and plant prove the viability of employment of detached leaves in studies related to this disease

The work developed in this thesis aimed to increase understanding about the variability and stability in eleven biotypes of Pochonia chlamydosporia, a facultative parasitic fungus with potential as a biological control agent against root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.), false root-knot (Naccobus spp.) and cyst nematodes (Heterodera and Globodera, spp.). Differences in performance were assessed by measuring saprophytic and parasitic growth using in vitro bioassays. Information on virulence (in vitro) was collected for a range of biotypes with the objective to relate in vitro parasitic growth with rhizosphere colonisation ability and secretion of extracellular enzymes. Results showed differences between biotypes in their ability to colonise the rhizosphere of plants, parasitise nematode eggs and to produce a range of extracellular enzymes but no significant relationships were found between saprophytic or parasitic growth and enzyme production. For the first time, the specific activity of protease, chitinase, esterase and lipase enzyme production by eleven biotypes of the fungus was examined. Enzymatic activity was shown to vary with the biotype and type of enzyme assayed and biotypes could be ranked according to their similarities in enzyme production A novel bioassay to estimate egg parasitism using liquid media highlighted the importance of nutrition in infection processes and suggested that all biotypes are able to infect large numbers of eggs rapidly if the conditions are favourable. The assay reliably detected fungal infection in nematode eggs within 48 hours and provided a simple, rapid assay to test the effect of specific nutrients at controlled concentrations on the infection process. Differences in infection rates between biotypes observed in previous tests on agar were not detected in the new assay in which nematode eggs and fungal conidia were added in suspension. Internal colonisation of individual whole Meloidogyne spp. eggs by P. chlamydosporia was observed using microscopy studies. The destruction of nematode eggs infected with the fungus within seven days, was confirmed. The in vitro formation of appressoria was studied in a range of P. chlamydosporia biotypes. for the first time. Biotypes were found to differ in their ability to produce appressoria but this ability was not related to differences in virulence (in vitro) against nematode eggs. Cont/d.
