Anthracnose of Camellia oleifera is one of the most devastating diseases caused by Colletotrichum gloesporioides in China. Genetic structure of C. gloesporioides population is poorly understood. Studying the genetic structure of the population will help us to understand the evolution of the pathogen, and to design better strategies to control the disease. In this study, ITS-5.8S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze the genetic structure and genetic diversity of C. gloesporioides populations consisting of 126 strains isolated from 12 sites. Our g...
