Abstract


Lasiodiplodia theobromae is the causal agent of numerous plant diseases in a wide variety of hosts. Fruit and vegetable crops are particularly susceptible to infection by this fungus. Although in Mexico, L. theobromae is associated with dieback and fruit rot in fruits such as mango, grapes, papaya, rambutan, sapote mamey and citrus fruit, the number of reports of this fungus related to diseases in different plant species is still few. The taxonomy of L. theobromae has shown important progress, with the characterization of the intergenic spacer regions and the elongation factor 1 alpha, phylogenetic location and cryptic species differentiation have been clarified and an increase of reports in new plant hosts has been made. Thus, the objective of this review is to present the status of L. theobromae in Mexico.

Keywords
