“Colletotrichum circinans causing onion smudge on white/colorless tissue is well-established; pigmented scales contain antifungal catechol compounds conferring resistance, consistent with source quote.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“Colletotrichum circinans is the established causal agent of onion smudge; resistance in colored varieties linked to catechol/protocatechuic acid in outer scales is well-documented taxonomy and pathology.”
