Article Synopsis
- Olive anthracnose, caused by different species, leads to significant losses in olive fruit yield and oil quality globally.
- A thorough investigation of 185 isolates from olives and other hosts revealed varying pathogenicity and morphology, but phenotypic traits sometimes fell short of identifying all species accurately.
- Molecular techniques using specific gene regions (like ITS and TUB2) proved effective for species identification, with twelve species identified, showcasing notable virulence differences depending on the host and origin of the isolates.
The influence of temperature, wetness duration, and planting density on infection of olive fruit by Colletotrichum acutatum and C. simmondsii was examined in laboratory and field experiments. Detached olive fruit of 'Arbequina', 'Hojiblanca', and 'Picual' were inoculated with conidia of several isolates of the pathogen and kept at constant temperatures of 5 to 35°C in humid chambers.
