Article Evaluation: Rubiaceae

The information is all relevant because it is primarily scientific facts about the family Rubiaceae. Also, because the article is scientific there is no noticeable bias on the page. The first link in the article is likely where the cited information came from but, it does not link directly to information about the family Rubiaceae. This citation could be stronger if it connected the reader directly to the discussed information about the family Rubiaceae. The source (Missouri Botanical Garden) does seem to be reliable however. Considering that this information is scientific and established, it should not need to be updated.

Mycena citricolor is another threat to coffee plants, primarily in Latin America. Mycena citricolor, commonly referred to as American Leaf Spot, is a fungus that can affect the whole coffee plant.[6] It can grown on leaves results in leaves with holes that often fall from the plant.[6]

This fungus causes the disease commonly known as American Leaf Spot.[7] Mycena citricolor affects coffee plants, primarily in Latin America, but can grow on other plants as well.[8] This fungus can grow on all parts of the coffee plant including the leaves, stems and fruits. When grown on the leaves, Mycena citricolor results in leaves with holes that often fall from the plant.[8]

Appearance[edit]

Mycena citricolor Appearance:

The Mycena fungus can be identified growing on subcircular, brown spots on coffee leaves.[3] The brown spots are caused be the presence of the saprotrophic fungus and by looking at the leaves closely, small mushrooms with luminescence can be seen. [4] The fungi's luminescence is active in the presence and absence of light. [5] Mycena citricolor's luminescence is also affected by the temperature of its environment. [4]

Hemileia vastatrix is a fungal pathogen[9] and results in light, rust-colored spots on the undersides of coffee plant leaves. Hemileia vastatrix grows exclusively on the leaves of coffee pants.[10]
