Bitter rot of apple is an economically important worldwide disease caused by different Colletotrichum species, depending on many factors such as climate, geography, other hosts, and crop management practices. Culture, morphology, single-locus sequencing-based methods for identifying the species are severely limited in effectiveness, while multilocus sequence typing available delineating costly, time-intensive, require high expertise. We developed species-specific hydrolysis probe real-time PCR assays following nine causing bitter Mid-Atlantic U.S.A.: C. fructicola, chrysophilum, noveboracense, gloeosporioides s.s., henanense, siamense theobromicola from complex, fioriniae nymphaeae acutatum complex. After searching 14 gene regions, we designed primers probes 5 them target species. Four primer–probe set pairs were able to be duplexed. Sensitivity tests showed little 0.5 pg DNA detectable.
