Cover Story: In this report, the major olive productive area of Peloponnese was screened for Colletotrichum species capable of generating anthracnose symptoms. Olive fruits of 12 different olive cultivars were collected from 60 groves. Thirty-two fungal strains isolated from asymptomatic olive drupes were morphologically identified as Colletotrichum spp. Subsequently, the isolates were multilocus genetically analyzed and grouped into two primary lineages resembling the previously characterized Colletotrichum acutatum and Colletotrichum nymphaeae. The fungal isolates exhibited different levels of pathogenicity in a cultivar-dependent manner and the cultivars were categorized as highly tolerant, tolerant and susceptible. Our results suggest that the Greek cultivars of Athinolia and Megaritiki are highly tolerant to the vast majority of Colletotrichum pathogenic strains isolated. View this paper
